Edgy dress for a formal event - perfect.
The cut and general construction of this dress is insanely flattering. (If you've ever tried on Narcisco Rodriguez gowns in the past, this one will not disappoint). Material is crepe and has a slight stretch. The 44R fit perfectly (I tend to wear the same size in all of NR's dresses), but I think that NR dresses tend to run slightly larger than other designers - so it was true to size for THIS designer. There was plenty of room in the hips (pear shape) and it was VERY flattering at the neckline. Photo is from trying it on at the RTR store. I wore a more padded/push-up style bra to take advantage of the neckline and it worked perfectly. I paired it with a gold statement collar type necklace and black heels and then wore my leather jacket over it when outside. Was extremely comfortable all night and received many compliments. Easy to dance in, stayed in place. Simple, well made, great cut, highly recommend. Draping of the skirt wraps nicely and flows well.

Great flowing skirt and lightweight with a flattering silhouette.
Like others mention, the waist is pretty tight (the 8 fit but it was... Quite fitted) and the chest could definitely flatten you out (I wore a lightly padded bra to counteract that). The skirt is well draped and very flattering. There is a metal piece that forms the v at the chest which kept shifting (annoying), but for one night it was doable. Got lots of compliments! Pretty dress if you can find a fit in the waist.

Perfect outfit for a Miami wedding!
Top fits well, wore with a lightly padded strapless bra (if are small chested and want to go braless would probably size down). Skirt was true to size and hit right above belly button. Has pockets (that fit my iPhone 6 in a slim case). I am 5'8.5" and the skirt came to about mid-shin. Super comfortable, cotton fabric, easy to iron/steam. Skirt is lined and quite thick, but was ok in heat/humidity. Highly recommend. Top would also be super cute with a bright, solid color skirt and vice versa.
