I can usually wear a size 10 in dresses with a flared bottom, but this dress was definitely form fitting so I needed the 12 for my wide hips. Ladies with hips, you'll want to order a backup size up, just in case, because the dress has no stretch. The color was lovely, more like a burgundy red, and the coloring made the sequins very classy and not too flashy. I'm 5'4" and it hit just below the knee. The bust area was great maybe with a bit of room to spare.

I got this dress for a would-be wedding that was called off at the last minute - so we just had a really expensive party instead! The color is fantastic and I got a ton of compliments on it. This dress is great for a pear shaped body. It is form fitting on top and flared at the hips to really disguise your bottom half. I'm 5'4" and it hit me right above the knee. The zipper was a little tricky, but it worked out just fine with a little help from my husband. I would DEFINITELY wear this again!

I loved this dress, but I wish I'd gotten it in a size 8. I got a 10 and a 12 as backup, but it fit larger than I thought it would. I had a baby about seven months ago so I'm still not loving my hip area, but this dress disguised it beautifully. It is gathered in the front and back right beneath the bust line, so you could probably get away with wearing this dress in early pregnancy. Holy cleavage, batman! This dress is probably not for you if you don't have a large chest, because it is looser on top. I am a 36D and I could have easily sized down to an 8, and it probably would have fit better in the chest - I'm just typically not an 8 in the hip area so I was scared to go smaller, but it is relaxed enough on bottom that you can size down without a problem. Definitely would wear again, but I suggest you get a smaller backup size. The color is fantastic, especially for a wedding. We went to a wedding on Bourbon Street in New Orleans so it was a mix of classy + party atmosphere, and this was perfect. I got a ton of compliments, and an eyebrow-raise from my husband. :)

I wore this to a January wedding (there were FIVE of us there wearing RTR!), and it was perfect. Pros: I had a baby five months ago and I'm dealing with a bigger-than-normal chest and wider-than-normal hips, so I wanted something that could hide what I didn't like. This dress was great! I was worried about the twist knot because those usually don't flatter me, but this one hit in just the right place. The chest area was flattering but not over the top. The sleeves were the perfect length. The sequins were more of a copper tone, and they're the tiny sequins so there was a lot of glittering. I'm fairly short, so it hit me just a bit above the knee. I paired it with sheer black pantyhose and black pumps, which I thought worked well at a winter wedding. Super comfortable fabric. We danced all night! Cons: The material can be a tad clingy, so I recommend wearing spanx or something underneath just to smooth everything out.
