I have been in love with this dress and was so excited to rent it for a baby shower. When I got the dresses (10 and 12) I tried on the 10 and it was unwearably form fitting. It literally hugged e-v-e-r-l-y s-i-n-g-l-e b-u-l-g-e. I wore the 12 but it still hugged a lot more than I wanted it to. I would have need a 14 or a 16 for it to look like it does on the model--for this reason I would NOT suggest this dress to hourglass or pear figures. The quilting on the dress suggests a more demure styling than the fit. The dress says "I'm a lady" and the fit says "lady if the night". Overall the dress was too small--except the length which was tea-length, which is odd in a shift style dress. I had such high hopes for this dress and was ultimately disappointed and a little embarrassed wearing it. (This is a cautionary tale about trying dresses on the minute they arrive--if I had I would have returned it and either rented or bought something last minute instead of wearing it.)
