Wore this to the ballet at the Kennedy Center in DC with simple pearl earrings and a necklace - got tons of compliments! The 0R was too tight on top, so I went with the 2R even though it was a bit long. I was wearing 3 1/2 inch heels and I still had to lift up the hem when I walked. The dress is very well lined, so you could probably go without a bra. I chose to wear one (and spanx of course) because it felt more secure - the lining was thick enough that you couldn't see any lumps or bumps. The fit was true to size, and I think it was pretty darned near perfect. Nothing itched/pinched, or felt weird. I'm a big fan of the peplum - it hides a belly pooch well and was very flattering.
