I was able to eat, drink, and sit comfortably even though it has zero stretch. Quite comical to zip up by myself, but I got it eventually. I'm typically a 14, but always end up in the 16 when I rent from RTR. This was my back-up dress and I was notified it would be the one I was to receive. I picked it on a whim, because I didn't think I would need my back-up, but it ended up being perfect. I wore it to a ballet and got many compliments from strangers. I wish it photographed better, but in real life it is gorgeous.

I typically wear a size 14 but am a little curvier so I ordered a size up as suggested. It fit wonderfully around the hips and am happy I got the larger size. It was a great dress to see a play.

Ringing in the new year this dress was FUN. The design of this dress is very flattering and comfortable. The fabric is structured and a little heavier than expected but still moved nicely. The elongated torso and dropped hi-low skirt was cut with the zipper and rouging to hug your curves and really makes your backside look great. The lace inset bodice is very pretty gold and I was able to wear a strapless bra comfortably.

I bought this dress from the clearance event (and am thinking about the full-length gown now, too!). It is a beautiful dress, great fabric, fun cut! I love that it is a bit of a high/low and the pictures don't do the gold lace justice - it is thick and intricate, and very pretty!! I am short, so will need a minor bit of tailoring on the top bit to make it perfect on me, but have already worn it without edits. Love this dress!!

I normally wear a 4 but the 6 fit perfectly.

The shoulder was a lil big

The dress fits fairly true to size, though may be a tad big. I am 5'9", 152 lbs, 34D and wore the 10. The gold was top was beautiful. I wore my hair up so as not to hide any of it. The flair at the bottom is fun and unexpected. While a structured dress it was very comfortable. I received tons of compliments on the dress.

Beautiful dress, but the gold at the time is a little loose so it gaps at the top. Wasn't able to wear a bra and even my 34DD looked tiny in it.

This dress fits true to size however, it is very fitted at the waist. I would suggest women that are curvier should consider sizing up because it doesn't have much stretch. This dress requires a strapless or a nude bra. But it is great for a cocktail hour or a wedding!

I have some extra love in the stomach and hips and this was just too tight in the hips to make it work. One size bigger would have been perfect.

This dress is pretty on the website and in person as well, but the fit just brought so much unneccesary attention to my midsection. Even with spanx, my tummy and love handles could not be hidden. It's almost like the way it was sewn bubbled under the waist before it flared out at the next tier. Also runs smaller in my opinion. I usually wear 14/16, rented both sizes and the 16 would not zip all the way. Wish it worked out. Returned it for credit.
