No shape
I am in-between sizes (14-16) so I got a 14 and 16 as my backup size and both were way too big! I swam in the 14 so tried a belt, but because of all the extra fabric, it just bunched at the waist and wasn't flattering at all. It looked like a night gown on me so I didn't wear, but if the fit was right, I could see this being a nice simple red dress for a date night (my plan was to wear on Valentine's Day). Definitely size down at least one size, maybe even two!

Flattering and comfortable!
I usually wear a 14 or 16 and both fit, but the 16 gave me a little wiggle room and was more comfortable. I am 5'6 and the length was perfect for 2 inch heels. A strapless bra is necessary and you'll need help using the bathroom because the zipper is in the back, but don't let that stop you from renting this super flattering elegant black jumpsuit! I got so many compliments, it was perfect for a work Christmas party!

I didn't have a good first experience with RTR, but they redeemed themselves this time!
The dress was a little snug on me, but with spanx it worked well. I typically wear a size 16 so I'd say it runs pretty true to size, maybe a tad bit small like most dresses. This dress is gorgeous and was perfect for my company holiday party with a "rock star glam" theme. It has more of a sparkle to it in person that the photos don't really show so if you're looking for some shimmer and shine without going sequins, this is your dress! I am 5' 6" which is pretty average and the R dress fell a little short of the floor so I had to wear flats (which I wasn't upset about at all) so if you plan on wearing heels, I'd definitely go with the Long option. The inside liner to the short part of the dress showed a little bit when I sat down and it wasn't super comfortable to sit in, but not a huge deal for me as I spent most of the night standing or dancing anyways. The fabric is pretty thick (I wouldn't recommend in the summer), which made the zipper pretty hard to get up, but again, no biggie as long as you have someone helping you get in and out of the dress. Overall, I was very pleased, felt very glamorous and received tons of compliments all night long!
