This dress runs slightly big. I ended up going with a 14, but I usually wear 16's from RTW. It was very comfortable and looked lovely.

I am a size 16 at places like Target and Old Navy and this was true to that size. My husband was wowed and he claims strangers around us at the restaurant were commenting on how amazing my dress looks. I felt incredibly beautiful and comfortable in this dress. I will likely rent this same dress again for another function!

This dress was fun and I did receive a lot of compliments. It is perfect for hourglass body shapes. If you are modest or self-conscious about showing your cleavage this dress is not for you. The girls were certainly out there! I could feel the sequins rubbing agains the back of my arm pits, but it was totally bearable. In this pick I have no shoes on and the dress just barely touched the floor. I ended up wearing kitten heals. This was a wonderful holiday dress! I felt like I was at a Hollywood premiere. It certainly made my husband happy (and my cat was mesmerized too).
