I wore this for a "Hollywood Glamor" theme event. It was the perfect blend of elegant and unique. The silk material is so soft and luxurious (careful with your accessorizes as it is also delicate and may snag easily.) Cons: I have a VERY flat chest {34A} but very ample hips {38.5"}. I rented the 6L and the 8L. The 8L swallowed my upper body but fit perfectly around my hips. The 6L fit better on my upper body but was tight on my hips. I used fashion tape from the top of my shoulder all the way down to my breast bone. I bought a thick push-up bra and padded it with silicone inserts. I had to do a lot of taping - silicone insert to bra, bra to boobs, etc - to keep everything in place. I also wore two - yes TWO - pair of Spanx since the 6L was tight on my hips. So if that sounds like a lot of work, it is. Pros: NO ONE else will be wearing a similar dress and you will feel like a million bucks. Once I taped myself in and crammed my butt into my Spanx, I felt like a beautiful statuesque movie star all night. And my "fake" boobs looked awesome! The dress just flows when you walk. It is so well made and so unique. The color is darker than the RTR picture suggests. More of a coppery peach tone. Flash bulbs make it appear more pink. I wore 5" heels. (Probably could have gone with the R instead of the L) I pared it with simple jewelry - emerald tear-drop earrings and a long gold lariat and crystal bangles. Even with all the work, I loved this dress and would own it in a heartbeat!
