Ran so small that I could barely get it over my hips, nevermind up to my chest. The slit is also Pap smear high, so make sure you're waxed and ready for your audience! If you're curvy like me, get the large or xl!

My original pick was not available at the last minute - and the dress that was sent in its place was awful. RTR was amazing - they gave me a "price is not a factor" opportinity to choose any dress that was available for my event date, no extra cost or additional shipping. I chose the Donna Karan Gemma, and was not disappointed - it was a bit more va-va-voom than I would normally go for, but I decided to live it up and go for it. Compliments and stares all night long - and my partner adored it. Two days later, he's still talking about it! My only caveats about this dress are that you definitely want to wear a strapless dress to avoid the dreaded shelf-boobs. Also, the sequins do get a little itchy under the arms, but nothing unbearable. The leg slit is also very short - you can't take a full stride and will need to walk carefully. I found that sitting for long periods tended to skew the zipper; I just checked it whenever I visited the ladies' room - not a big deal.
