The stretchy fit was great for my curvy hourglass figure. I was somewhere between 135-140 lbs at the time and the 8R felt too baggy around the waist. The 6R fit perfectly across B-W-H, but even with 6" heels, this dress was just way too long for someone 5'2". (For reference though, I do not have shoes on in this photo.) I ended up pulling the skirt part up into the waist several inches (tucked under all the runching) in order to dance. That was almost as irritating as the shawl part around the shoulders - I had to keep pulling that part down, and eventually gave up and put it underneath my arms to wear the dress like it was entirely sleeve-less. Not quite the look I was going for. But all of that aside, I did get tons of compliments on it.
