The color is amazing, and the draping was perfect. Couldn't get any sexier with that plunging back!

The picture on the website makes the dress look a lot longer than it is. The model must be like 4'9" because I'm 5'4" and I could have worn flats with the dress and it would just graze the floor. Everywhere else fit perfectly though. I wore it with nude platform heels and it would have worked for the length, but anything other than nude or maybe strappy gold heels would look weird with that length. Fashion tape is a must for this dress though, especially if you're on the smaller side bust and shoulder width-wise. Really stunning color though.

Beautiful Dress!

Size worn: 42R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This Dress was gorgeous! It's best for someone under 5'4"... its a little bit short.... I like dresses to skim the floor a little bit but that may be my preference. With 3" heels it was still a little short. Also, it's best for the broad shouldered gal, I'm narrow in the shoulders and I had to fashion tape it to me! Once it was secured in place, everything was fine! I loved it.

Perfect for my company's annual ball in San Francisco's city hall. The color is beautiful and the fabric feels and looks expensive.

Gorgeous color!

The color is stunning. The fabric is very soft and comfortable. It does run small. So I would suggest a size up. It is very short. I am 5'3" and had to wear flats.

GORGEOUS DRESS, but...

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

It is really, really, really short! I'm 5'9" and I realize that this dress is not recommended for ladies over 5'6" - but, since I was planning on wearing flats (super dressy metallic flip-flops to be exact) I figured that it would still be long enough. Nope, not even close - didn't even come close to my ankle (which is a length I would have been happy with). That being said, if you plan on wearing heels with this dress - don't rent it if you're over 5'3" - they only way it would be long enough for someone 5'6" is if that someone is planning to wear flats!

Too Short Waisted

Size worn: 40R

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

Overall, the dress and fabric are lovely (although it is much more green than the teal that is depicted). But, I am 5' 6", 118 lbs., and it was far too short waisted. The description states that it is for a person 5' 1 - 5' 6". I fit into it, but the waist on a size 40 (U.S. 4) which is one size larger than I would normally fit into, came up into my ribs, rather than below as pictured, which made the entire dress fall incorrectly, especially since the draping at the waist is asymetrical. Yet, if I had ordered up one more size, the hips would definitely have been too wide. This is really meant for a petite (not just slim) person.
