This dress is so fabulous. I debated on color and almost went for the rose gold - but the navy was amazingly brilliant even though it photographed a bit darker (inadequate flash for sure!) I compared the size charts at Badgley Mishcka directly, and also chatted with a RTR lady, and also read every review. I tend to be a bit of a tough fit for dresses thanks to my bodacious curves - occasionally wearing anything from a 4 to 10 depending on cut. I ordered the 4R as a second option to the 6R and I'm glad I trusted my initial judgement. The 6R fit nicely, but the 4R was a touch shorter and fit IMMACULATELY around the empire waist and everywhere else. I like the look of a closer fitting dress, so I wore the 4 - I don't like to add too much fabric bulk to my short, curvy figure for obvious reasons. I would say, for my figure (37-29-36... with bust 32DDD... and a curvy bum) that this was true to size, but for less stacked ladies it might be considered a bit large. Order the second down a size for sure. Lastly, I wore high 4+ inch heels - I'm 5'2" - and the dress touched the ground; in an elegant not-too-long way. Carried my own Pour la Victoire calf hair box clutch, and wore RTR Clear Statement earrings by Kate Spade. My date, his colleagues, and EVERYONE else was super-impressed. Best Dressed for sure.
