First, this dress is amazing! Truly one of a kind, gorgeous and an immediate compliment receiver. The fit: I am an 8 at my normal and a 6 on a skinny day w stretchy material. I took the advice of everyone else who rented and went a size up from my normal to a 10. This was the perfect fit! (well almost TOO perfect). The catch: There was NO room for error and luckily I skipped eating the entire day and wore Spanx and stockings. And yes... it is necessary. The result: Because of how form fitting the dress is, it truly accentuated and hugged my curves in every right place. (most noticeable in the main picture around my (not so flat-but-appeared-flat) tummy and my hips and butt. The material: Difficult to describe but the dress is thin and has an inner lining that hugs you first which allows the second layer of the dress to keep the shape you see in the RTR website picture. I think this is what helps it to look so good on. It doesn't look like much in your hand... and is even not as impressive in the mirror, but on camera? OH MY WOW! The price: I was lucky enough to use a credit/gift card for my rental... still, it would have been worth the money for a legitimate occasion. A little pricey for a regular party but for a wedding, red carpet, photoshoot, gala, etc... it's going to give you back every bit it costs. My mom, the sweety, posted the picture of me on Facebook and said: "Princess Kate (Middleton) doesn't have a thing on my daughter! " (p.s. Princess Kate made this dress popular, unbeknownst to me when I rented it)
