Very classy, comfortable*, and super stylish. I blended in with some of the finest dressed people on whom I’ve ever laid eyes ... I’m an 8 top, 10 bottom - but thanks to the forgiving nature of the fabric, a pair of Spanx, and five consecutive days of spin classes, the size 8R fit nearly perfectly. A silk scarf to cover my shoulders and exposed back allowed a smooth transition from a gown respectful of their faith at the church ceremony to a dancing queen at the reception. Loved it!! Wish I could own it!!! *This wedding was an ELEVEN HOUR affair, after-party inclusive. Comfort not to be undervalued in importance!!

This dress runs large for size, but true to length for size. I'm small in the bust and wide in the hips . . . and after reading other reviewsI got both the SXR and SR. The SXR was too tight in the hips -- but even still was too big on top, making it evident it was designed for someone with a lot more upstairs than me (and I'm not talking brains here). I wore the SR and pinned up the halter with tiny gold safety pins to make it shorter by about 3/4" to avoid it sagging (a common problem for me). It's also *very* low cut - a problem I solved with a little broach my mom wore in the 70s (tho on her lapel -- she'd faint if she saw my implementation). (I discovered after the party there is a hook & eye near the base of the V-neck. Frankly, my solution looked better on me anyway. So there.) But even with all this -- WOW! Did this dress hit the mark!! I had a "costume change" into this dress at the halfway mark of the party . . . and my fantasy of being a big shiny, happy disco ball came true! :D This was my first TRT experience. And. It. Rocked.
