Stunning and elegant!
I rented this for a black-tie wedding. It was perfect for the event, and I got so many compliments on it throughout the evening. I wore a size 2, and it's fairly true to size. It was slightly snug in the ribcage, but not terribly. I have an athletic/muscular build, I'm a 34D with a 25-inch waist. For reference, I wear a size 2 from Ann Taylor in their curvy pants, I wear a 26 in Mother jeans, but a 4 in fitted/structured dress from Ann Taylor and MM La Fleur.

This dress was a little too sexy for the event that I attended, not fit for my body type.
I'm 5'1 and roughly (an athletic/muscular) 128 lbs and wear a 34C bra. While the SR fit PERFECTLY, it showed off every curve, lump, bump and dimple. I have a very round, pronounced behind, an extremely small waist, and perky booBs and it hugged those areas of my body a little too tightly, especially for the event that I was attending. I felt fabulous in the dress, and looked sexy, but was a little too sexy. I would have had everyone at the event talking about me for all of the wrong reasons. I was attending a major University's awards gala, and this just would not have been the right dress, and not the look I was going for at such an event.

This dress was classically elegant, and exactly the look that I wanted for a University Gala!
I'm 5'1 and roughly (an athletic/muscular) 128 pounds, and wear a 34 C bra. I wore a size 4 petite and it fit just right. I ordered a size 2R as a back-up and it was honestly laughable trying to get the dress zipped. I had almost a six inch gap between the zipper. The four was still snug around my rib cage, but was not uncomfortable once I got it on. I wore 3.75 inch heels and the length was PERFECT. The plunging neckline was subtle sexiness, without revealing too much. The back lace was also just the right amount of va-va-voom. I didn't wear any type of bra with it, but felt perfectly secure and covered. I wanted to feel elegant, sexy and classy at a university alumnae gala, and this dress did exactly that. I got SO many compliments on the dress, and would definitely consider re-renting if I have another formal event in the future. For comparison's sake, I wear a size 0 in LOFT Julie fit pants, 2 in J. Crew skirts and dresses and a 4 in MM La Fleur dresses.
