The material is light and airy, and the lining ensures that it's not see through but won't stick to you. It was hot and humid at this wedding, and this dress was probably the most comfortable thing I could've worn for the weather. The 2R fit relatively true to size -- it was a tad tight in the arms/upper back, but not uncomfortable, and fit well in the waist. I also ordered a 4R and that one was baggy in a few places which made the fabric look weird. Also, I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked for my height -- I'm short (5'1") and although I think this was supposed to hit more mid-calf, it worked really well as a maxi dress on me. I wore 2-1/2" wedges, but was also totally fine barefoot. Great dress!

As many other people stated, this dress is very fitted through the hips/butt/thighs area. I could've worn a 2 (my usual size) in the top, but there was no way I'd be able to sit down or move comfortably. I'm not terribly skinny through this area, but also not disproportionately larger than I am on top. The 4 still didn't have a ton of give, but I wasn't worried I was going to rip it. Beyond that, the dress was in great shape and the color is awesome. The sparkly belt really adds to it without feeling overly bling-y. I wore this to a wedding where attire was instructed to be "smart, sexy cocktail" and thought this fit the bill perfectly.
