On me, this dress looked very odd. I have a pear/athletic shape, so this dress was very tight in the hip area in my regular size and the next largest size. Also, the upper portions of both dresses still had a lot of room, so the sleeves kept slipping down. In my opinion, this dress would be most ideal for women who have a "ruler" shape or have hourglass figures. I gave this dress 3 stars because I thought the pattern was very nice, although the navy blue insert at the neckline appeared more black than blue.

Regarding color, this dress is more orange than coral. Regarding size, the dress is fairly form-fitting and has pockets where one's hips are in the dress. So, if you have wide hips, this dress may make your hips appear bigger than they actually are due to the pockets and lack of room in that area. This dress is not an ideal choice for true pears.

I rented this dress in a medium, with a backup size of small, for a wedding. Unfortunately, the small was way too little, and the medium-sized dress didn't fit well up top and the lower half of the dress was a little too snug. Since I couldn't wear it, I returned it. Of note, this dress doesn't have coppery tones like the picture makes it out to be--it is actually black with BRIGHT GOLD metallic.
