Pretty and fun, but runs small
Wore this to a formal gala but had to upsize to the 8L (normally a 6) because the slip underneath was super tight and didn't stretch at all. The 8L was too large on top for me, but I was able to pin it to get it to work. The 6L would have been perfect if the slip layer had been even slightly stretchy. Other than that though, I got a TON of compliments on the dress at the gala. It definitely stood out among all the other floor length black dresses ;) I accessorized it with black booties and dramatic jewelry from India to spice it up (gala had a moroccan bazaar theme). A lot of people commented that it looked like a "princess" gown, and several said it would be a fun "second dress" for a wedding reception. For reference: the white is more of a winter white/light cream than stark white. Overall though, felt great in it and had a lot of fun with the fullness of the skirt!

Sugar Coat Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34B
Flowy, sparkly, and beautiful!
This was a backup dress that I ended up wearing because the other wasn't long enough. This one was gorgeous and super flattering. I wore it to host a formal event, but got more than a few comments that it would make a gorgeous wedding gown...ha! The sequins on the front panel aren't over-stated at all, and the rest of the dress flows beautifully and it was plenty long enough on my 5'11' frame. The slip layer underneath did seem a little tight for the size, but I'm fairly straight through the hips so I was able to swing it. Highly recommended!

Rhodes Harbor Gown
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 6L
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 150lbs

Really sparkly and flattering, but not long enough
I was really hoping this would work for a formal event I was hosting, but even the Long size still didn't hit the floor when I was barefoot. I'm 5'11" so this was a little surprising to me since other RTR dresses in Long have been plenty long, but alas, I couldn't pull it off. Its very flattering though and totally stunning with the sparkles!

I loved the fit and style, but it wasn't quite long enough.
Looked great on, but it wasn't long enough, even in the 6L. I'm 5'11" with long legs and even in flats it was about 1 inch from the ground, so it just didn't look right since it has the wide legs. Too bad too cause I loved it otherwise!! Super flattering on top and the pockets made it adorable!

I wore this to an outdoor Derby party in Colorado and got TONS of compliments!
The color is vibrant and flattering, the fit is super slimming and flowy, and its just such a unique silhouette that you're sure to get noticed. Its definitely low cut in the front, so if you have a larger chest you may end up needing to wear a bandeau or something underneath it. I have a smaller chest and was able to wear a normal bra and as long as I stood up straight didn't have any issues :) The 6L was long enough for small wedge heels, but not the normal 3 inch height heels...at least for me...I have long legs and am fairly short waisted though. Overall, a really amazing, flattering, unique piece for summer!
