One size up fits beautifully
I usually wear an 8 and got this in Large and it fit like a glove. It is more sparkly than I realized (all the flowers are sequins) so it was fancier than I needed. But otherwise beautiful.

Nice dress
Fabric has a nice weight to it and a bit of shine so it is appropriate for work or more formal events but could also be used for casual wear with sandals or something. Nice looking and the twist in the front is flattering. True to size and on the longer side - good for the tall gals!

Couldn't close it
Way too small above the waist. Couldn't get it closed and even in the right size I think the chest would have been too rigid and restricting.

Fits kind of odd but takes pounds OFF
The fabric + cut of this dress skimmed over me and were slimming. The top's a little blousy and the bottom straight so that made it shift up a bit. But wearing spanx had a smoothing effect and kept the dress from bunching. I didn't need the spanx for size control, but they were helpful just for smoothing purposes. I might keep this dress even though it was a little odd. I just felt fabulous! I'm 5'8 and 153/36D, athletic/proportional with a little love handle action and the 8 was great.

Great cover for arms in the winter!
I wore this in November, and was thrilled to have my not-quite-summer-tanned/toned arms covered :) The dress is a little roomier in the waist, which I appreciate. If legs are your stronger point, this shows them off nicely. Looks great with a statement necklace as shown - I wore metallic heels. I'm somewhere between a 4 and a 6 and ordered both - ended up wearing the 4.

Elegant and Comfortable!
Wore this for a black tie wedding and it was perfect - color, good fabric weight (not paper thin) and skimming fit made this a figure flattering choice. I had it on from about 4pm until 3am and was very comfy the whole night. The bling on the shoulder is just right - wore simple drop rhinestone earrings and a bracelet. I did need the longer size though. I'm 5'7.5" and wore heels about 3" high - the regular length was too short, so I was glad I grabbed the long as my backup size.

Very flattering lines!
I actually ended up wearing a different dress (Trina Turk - Portrait of Elegance) because I needed to have my shoulders covered and didn't have the right wrap or cardi for Reba. I also had a tough time picking jewelry (should have let RtR do it)! But this dress fits in all the right places and the lines make you look long and very lean. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6, but the 4 fit beautifully! I might not have picked it online, but I tried it in the showroom and wow, it looked good. The front panel is prettier in person.
