RTR sent this dress when my backup size to my first choice was not available. I sized up my original dress bc it is a tighter style so I had a feeling this loose number was going to be too big for me. And it was. I tried messing with a belt to see if that would give me some shape but the arms were entirely too big regardless. I would have been better off in a 10 and would have sized down for my back up. In general I love halter tops so it was still fun to put on and snap a few photos. Pros: It's super light and airy, but not sheer. Except for the sheer parts at the bottom, which made it feel a little fashion-forward. The dress has a very slight hi-lo cut that flares at the bottom. It's super subtle but adds carpet-ready elegance. I'm 5'8" and the R is long. I'm wearing 2-3 inch heels in my photos with some length to spare. Cons: The pattern simply isn't my taste.

I'm typically between a size 8/10, but unfortunately for me I've recently gained a little weight over the past couple months so I took a scary gamble at guessing what size to order to compliment my new figure. I don't like anything tight so I ordered up to be safe. The 12R was loose and comfortable but I probably would have been just fine in a 10. I wasn't planning on wearing heels, which is good bc the R was wayyy too short for heels. The dress itself is awesome. Great quality fabric and the colorful brushstroke-pattern puts a fun, artsy spin on the traditional paisley. And it has pockets! And you can wear a regular bra! I'm always a big fan of a comfortable dress with pockets to play and twirl with. It didn't necessarily give me that "yowzers" look I initially thought I wanted, but I felt great, comfortable, classy, fun, and beautiful in this dress. =)
