I ordered the 12L and the 14L. The 12L fit great but the zipper bubbled a little at the bottom in the back and I really didn't need any more rolls (real or perceived :) so I went with the 14L which was a little big but not noticeably baggy. I'm 5'6 and I wore 4 1/2 inch heels which left the dress still floor length but allowed the gold toe of my heels to peek through. The dress does have draping on both sides at the hips which is very flattering. I was a little nervous as I am already hip heavy. I did have a little issue when I first tried it on because somehow I managed to get both sides of the draping onto one side and it left the dress looking lopsided and me looking hip heavy (er). Once I got it straightened out though I was thrilled with the result. The Southern Plantation earrings were my mystery bling and obviously RTR knows what they are doing because they matched perfectly!
