I loved this dress. I wore my backup size (4R), though my usual size is typically a 6. Based on the customer reviews for the dress, I ordered the 4R as backup, but tried it on first, because I expected it to run a little big. The 4 fit me so perfectly that I never tried on the 6. I have long legs and a relatively short torso. The length worked well for me with 3-inch heels (anything shorty and I would have had some drag). I wore the dress without a bra, and did use some dress tape to keep things secure. Everyone loved the dress, which I accessorized with some antique costume rhinestone and red-stone jewelry -- chandelier style necklace (the plunging neck worked great for this) and matching earrings and bracelet. I found this dress to be incredibly comfortable to wear, which is in part attributable to its fabric, which was not quite what I expected. I thought the fabric would be more static, and more upscale. This dress is a bit stretchy and the fabric is more permanent-press than I'd anticipated. Although I was initially concerned about it when I unpacked the dress, I was grateful that it did not need to be pressed or steamed, and once I put it on, my concerns were assuaged since the dress looked so good on. The only other thing that was not quite as I expected was the slit -- it was just above the knee, so not quite as dramatic as I had thought it would be. I was expecting something more mid-thigh. All in all, though I loved wearing this dress, both for its glamorous look and comfort. I certainly wanted to keep it!
