Fit: I normally wear a size 12, and can actually wear a 10 sometimes depending on the style of dress. I did not even try on the size 12 - I ordered a 12 and a 14 - put the 14 on as soon as the dresses came in and it fit me perfectly. I knew that if I put on the 12, it wouldn't fit and be too tight, and therefore, not flattering. As a curvy girl, I really appreciated how flattering this dress was. The embroidery not only added such an elegant touch, but really flattered my figure and photographed super well in pictures. I wore this to my bridal shower and received compliments from what felt like almost everyone there. This is definitely one of my top dresses I have rented from RTR and honestly, if I wasn't having a wedding, I would elope in this dress. Pros: Flattering to a curvy figure, looks great in person and in pictures, and will make you feel so elegant! Cons: The cap sleeves are tight - I was not able to raise my arms above my head. I didn't need to, but this was definitely not a dress that I could "get down and dance in". The embroidery part/sheath of the dress was very tight and did not stretch. The white lining underneath fortunately did and made moving easier, but the embroidery layer was tight and constricted my movements some. This dress does run small. I rented a 12 & 14 and wound up wearing the 14, despite being a size 12. I would most definitely recommend sizing up for this dress. Tips: You do need a strapless bra. I did not wear shapewear and didn't feel like I needed it - but others might. The rose gold embroidery is such a distinctive color that matching it would be very difficult. I accessorized with nude flats, a pearl bracelet, and diamond earrings to keep the accessories simple since the dress was so intricate and fancy. Overall: I LOVED this dress, despite some of the cons, it is one of my all time favorites from RTR and I would rent this dress again.
