I initially selected the green version of this dress in 10L and ended up having to go up a size because of the tightness in the stitching on the empire waist band. I'm almost 5'8" and wanted to make sure that the dress was long enough with heels. The 10L was perfect, but the 12L was a little longer so I had to be careful that myself and others didn't step on the dress. Rent the Runway was great to work with when the 10L didn't work and was great to offer suggestions to make sure that I got a dress that would work quickly. All in all I loved the dress and received many compliments all night long. I wish it would have been a little more fitted and didn't like having to go up a size, a 10.5 would have been ideal! ;)
