This sheath dress is ideal for women whose top and bottom are equally proportioned. It would have been perfect for me if it were 4 inches shorter, had a zipper and the hips were a bit tighter. My chest is bigger than my hips, so the 12 fit my hips, but pulled across the chest. I wore the 14 so the chest fit well, and the hips were big. I tacked the hem up 4" to make the roomier skirt look more "fun" and less frumpy. I was comfortable and happy with my choice all evening. There is no stretch to the liner on this dress, so the description that there is "stretch" should be modified. This was my second attempt at renting from RTR. I had my sizes wrong the first attempt, so used my credit this time without any problem. I did better with my fit and was able to switch dresses after I placed my order, but before it was shipped. Overall, a fun experience!

I wear size 8/10 jeans and M/L tops. Most dresses are too small in the chest, and I have to size up, but then they are too large in the bottom. The "true to size" comments and the "ample room" in the chest comments by everyone led me to believe a size 8 or 10 dress would fit. The size 10 fit perfectly in the chest, but was snug around my waist (mine tends to be thicker) and rear (mine tends to be smaller). The stretch in the material was great, and I considered wearing the dress even though it was a bit snug, but decided I would ultimately be uncomfortable and self-conscious, so decided to return it. I had thought my "back up" dress was a size 8, but it was actually a 12. Bottom line, I wish I would have checked the size of my back up dress before I placed my order and ordered a size 12 and a 14. I would definitely have worn one of those sizes.
