I am a curvy woman. My waist (~32 in.) is a lot smaller than my hips (~43 in.), and my chest is like a 36D. Dress size runs 10-12. I was so afraid based on past reviews that I wouldn't fit into this dress. FALSE. I rented the large and didn't struggle at all! Luxurious fabric, stunning fit, and I wore no shapewear. The dress is very stretchy, so there is tons of give. I wore a regular strapless bra, which hid easily beneath the fabric. The dress did not ride up at all. I did need my partner to help zip it up from behind, and it was very snug, but that made the va-va boom, baby! I wore it with the sleeves down the entire night, and I felt incredible. This is why favorite piece in all my years of renting from RTR. Ladies, do not second-guess this piece!

I am usually a size 14 (I'm large-chested as a size 36DDD and have a very large backside), but this dress was so popular and I wanted to wear it so badly for my 21st birthday gathering that I rented the size 10, wore no bra (which I think is understood that you probably shouldn't), wore a corset and two pairs of shapewear. That's how stunning this dress was, and it was worth the struggle! The lace detail on the top half is so elegant, and my friends could not stop raving about the quality. It feels very expensive. My only complaint is that the side-zipper (the only zipper) makes it extremely difficult to get into the dress, so definitely have a friend help you into the dress if necessary. That's not a size thing; it's just the nature of the dress. The dress was indeed true to size for a natural size 10, and the length was perfect. So, for every woman concerned with being very curvy like myself and not fitting into the dress, do know that the fit should be fine, and that this dress truly took my breath away. It's been over 6 months since my party, and I'm still in love with it!
