This dress looks amazing. I'm usually a 6 and the size 6 fit me better, however it was too short, at 5'9'', even with 2 inch heels. I went for the 8, which was on the shorter side too, but slightly longer. I also noticed the fabric was stretchier on the 8 than on the 6. It seems like the 6 is a newer version of the same dress, hence the shorter length and different fabric (not stretchy at all, had a zipper whilst the 8 didn't need one). It's too bad because it makes it hard to raise your arms because of the cap sleeves in the non-stretchy one. Overall though, it is beautiful, eye-catching and really gives you that old hollywood style. I had compliments all night. The back is beautiful too, but you have to wear a stick-on bra or no bra since it is plunging.
