I considered renting this as a reception dress for a while but put it off. After a dress mishap 2 weeks before the wedding, I freaked out and rented this in the case I needed something for the actual ceremony! Unfortunately the only sizes available at that point were 6L and 12L (I am a 6/8 and definitely not L) so I ordered those. They were not able to send the 12L, which I was worried about because other reviews said the dress fit small. However the 6L fit me well. The material does not have a lot of give, but I would say it is true to size. It was quite long and dragged on the floor, but I am also barely 5'4" and it was a "long" size. It hugged my curves, 100% recommend wearing supportive undergarments if you don't have washboard abs. I am nervous about wearing anything sleeveless because I have a lot of loose skin after weight loss, but for the most part my underarm flab was contained. The stock photo is pretty washed out, you can see in photos its more gold/ivory. It was more beautiful in person than pictures can show... I felt very glamorous wearing it.
