I chose this dress after reading the reviews that it was little loose through the body -- I went up one size from normal 6 in dresses and this was perfect, as I am about 4.5 months pregnant (even though this wasn't listed in the maternity style section)! I would have liked to wear this with bare legs and black heels, but 1) it was chillier than I thought and 2) the dress does run a bit short, at least when I did anything other than stand with my arms dropped at my sides (hence putting my hair up so I didn't play with it and raise my arms too often). Wasn't sure about the gray tights with gray heels, but it was all I had last minute and from the pictures (there's a seated one I didn't share where the shoes show), it wasn't too bad, especially for an evening event. The half-sleeves provided the coverage I wanted -- this was a charity gala with business colleagues -- but like my header says, the bright color and lace kept it young enough to stand out. And as always, love the whole RTR experience -- could not recommend more highly!
