Based on other people's reviews, I ordered the 0R and 2R. The 0R fit my body perfectly and hit right at my feet, but the top part (with the ruffle) was tight across the chest - if I bent over it was very constricting. Also, it grazed the floor without heels so I could only have worn my shortest kitten heels. The 2R fit much more comfortably - I had enough room everywhere, and the fit was generous but not baggy. You really do need to wear spanx or some other kind of shapewear though, because the material is heavy, but will still show lumps or other bumps. I also wore a one-shoulder padded strapless bra - and that stayed hidden. I wore 4 1/2'' heels, and the gown barely grazed the floor - I think there is a very slight train in the back since it kept getting stepped on! All in all, I'm really happy with this dress - I got a ton of compliments, and several other ladies at the Ball knew it was RTR and raved about my dress - and theirs.
