This is a very sexy dress! Maybe a little sexier than I had thought! Yet somehow it does maintain that fine line of elegance. My husband couldn't keep his hands off me! I got the 8L and wore 3.5" shoes and the dress was still about 1.5" too long. My back up size was the 10R and that was a few inches too short (with the same shoes) and way too big on top. Others have said that the dress stretches out, I did not notice that, and was dancing the night away comfortably. Due to the neckline and low back I chose to go braless as even a nu-bra would have shown. This wasn't the most flattering though, and I wish the dress had pads sewn in to give a bit more structure. Luckily there were no maldrobe malfunctions due in part to the top's design with the leather cord across the neckline. I loved the color. Perfect understated color for a sexy dress. Other issues are that you definitely need to keep your stomach WAY pulled in all night as it definitely highlights a bigger midsection due to the shape of the dress! I tried using Spanx to take a few lbs off but it seemed to only make the lines of the dress not look right but luckily fabric was very judicious and didn't skew towards showing lumps and bumps. I loved using RTR for my dress, earrings and clutch and felt like a celebrity. Would definitely use it again in the future!
