I rented this for an industry event and after my original choice was no longer available at the last minute, RTR's superb customer service sent me 3 choices regardless of price. I was hesitant at first to choose this dress because there weren't any reviews yet. I'm 7 months post partum and I'm still getting used to my new shape, so I was jumping into this dress blind. Since I'm still nursing, I wouldn't suggest this dress for large chested women UNLESS you have a perfectly fit strapless bra. I ended up wearing a black bra and the straps were visible but thankfully it looked like part of the dress. The dress is basically made out of scuba material so it's tight! I had spanx on and was still self conscious because it was super snug. I wish I had upsized because I don't think it was a true 8 but it worked. People couldn't believe that I had just had a baby almost 7 months prior, which made me feel good! My husband told me before I left that he wished I could've kept it because he loved it so much on me (p.s. he didn't like it online) THANKS RTR!
