I love this dress. It hugs in all the right places with a subdued sheen, making it sexy and fun but still classy. The belt portion (sewn into the dress) is absolutely gorgeous and really makes it clear that it is a designer piece. I wore it with bronze heels, a bronze bracelet and champagne teardrop crystal earrings. For the fit: it really hugs the body. I kind of wish I'd worn spanx (except I don't because UGH spanx) because you can see even any tiny curves that you might want to downplay in this dress. It's not sheer but probably requires nude bra and panties. I'm short and this dress was the perfect length; not to short or too long. I'm very petite in the shoulders which is often a problem for me in dresses (so I usually go strapless) but this worked for me. I got the 2 and the 4 and I ended up going with the 2. I'm sure a 0 would have been much too tight. The dress was a tiny bit worn when I received it and it a little difficult to wear. There is a lining, which kept showing under the sequin overlay, but not that big of a deal. It is very easy to snag the sequins on each other, creating a bunched look, or snag the sequins on jewelry, etc. The belt portion ties into in the back with a thick ribbon. RTR had NOT ironed the ribbon and it was very crimped and needed ironing before I could wear it. Kind of annoying, but not a deal breaker.
