Hi Barbie!
Wore the MR to try to keep the top up though the LR was more flattering on bottom. Still, the fabric relaxes and stretches a little bit, but you’re not going to get much extra room out of it. Wore a sticky bra (my strapless was 50/50 on whether it would peek out over top or in the cutoff) — couldn’t even get away with shapewear underneath as this sucker fits SNUG, but overall it was comfortable and easy to dance in. This style definitely favors a slender waist and not-too-full bottom with something up top to hold it up — I had to keep shimmying the top up while dancing because I lack that last part! — but it was cute and got lots of compliments!

A little roomy
Especially up top (I’m a lean 34B-C)! Rented for a wedding. Really attractive but it sagged around my chest and ultimately didn’t choose to wear it.

Absolute Power Look
I've had this dress bookmarked for over a year - and it's worth the hype. This is the first time I've worn a dress where I looked like $1M and felt like $2M. 10/10, loved it so much I bought it. It's a little warm, and underwear choices are... tricky. But as someone who normally loathes "dress up," any dress that made me feel this stunning was worth it. Pointers: 1. Grab a measuring tape, find a Cinq a Sept sizing chart online, and compare your measurements to find your size - it'll go a long way with this dress. Normally I have to size up for booty; I didn't for this one because there's an oh-so-slight amount of stretch - but you're not going to get overly gracious inches in the fabric with this one. Measure! 2. RTR's heel height recommendations are spot on. I'm 5'6" and wore ~3-3.5" heels and had a bit more trailing fabric than I was completely comfortable with on an 8L. 3. Pro-tip from an earlier review: L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte #368 "Matador" is THE lip to wear with this dress. It matches perfectly, and ties the whole thing together! 4. Enjoy looking like the fabulous, stellar, smoke-show you are! ROCK IT!

Amazing military ball :)
I do wish it was a little wider inside - the sides are rigid, so if your stuff doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. If you're packing anything in there with a phone, good luck!

Awesome bracelet - matched bronze hammered earrings perfectly!
Stays on well - a little awkward since it's so long and overlaps the wrist/back of your hand a little but doesn't slide around or get annoying

I was probably in the best shape of my life going into an AWESOME military ball weekend!
I'm a 34B at best, and the 8 was snug (which was surprising - normally I'm a much smaller size if I don't have to worry about the dress hugging my hips and legs) - don't rent this and expect any give up top. BUT it was beautiful, I felt beautiful, and the way my date looked at me.. :)
