I rented this dress for a black tie wedding along with a long dress. I picked this one because I wasn't tripping on it and I could really move in it (to chase my two year old around the wedding). If fits small, especially in the waist and ribcage area. I usually wear a 0 or 2, I opted for a 4 and a 6 and wore the 6. I would like to have had the 8 as my backup as the 4 was really tight (although I could get it zipped with a little work). The cut is beautiful and the dress photographs so well from every angle. The criss-cross detail in the middle seems like it would draw attention to the belly area but the corseting inside the dress, along with the optical illusion really flattens everything out. My husband loved the dress and I got lots of complements on the unique style and sexy fit. I wore a shaper and a strapless underneath. I was glad I got the padded strapless because even though it was tight in the waist the very top of the dress was a little stretched out. Except for the pulling-it-up every once in a while (which I imagine is why the top was stretched) it was a good dress to dance and move in. I would definitely wear it to a black tie event again as it stood out from the long gowns but wasn't flashy enough to be considered too sexy or un-formal. My mother told me to purchase this dress immediately because she loved it so much.
