This dress really will fit anyone: its easy, forgiving, and elegant. It would be difficult to mess this one up. I was terrified that the 2 would be too big (I'm normally a 0), but with a structured bra it was perfect. I'm just under 5'8" and the dress length was almost perfect with 2.5 inch heels. I was so worried that the dress would be short that I purchased some flats, but ended up not needing them. The big con (and this of course isn't the dress's fault) is that I felt a tad underdressed and unsophisticated for the gala that I was attending. It feels a little like an old bridesmaid's dress (it was even snagged in a couple of places but nothing too noticeable). Its pretty and the color is nice, but its very plain. I'd never been to a gala before and now I know. Lesson learned. If I am invited to attend another gala, I'll spring for a ballgown from RTR. Bottom Line: this is basically a very pretty bridesmaid's dress. Heck, if you are looking for a bridesmaid's dress, stop your search, this is it! You won't be sorry.
