This dress runs incredibly long. TOO long. I am 5'8 and wore 3.5 inch heels and the dress was dragging on the ground. Everyone kept stepping on it, which was really annoying, especially when I was in mid-stride. The bust is not a flattering pattern. I felt like the dress made me look flat with weird draping in the front. Additionally, the waist is a bit high and the skirt fabric is full so it does not show off your physique well. The dress kept sliding down and I had to yank it up all night even though it was the right size. The color was beautiful and the fabric is really nice and flowy. I think this dress could do in a pinch for many body types. The one other caution is that there were at least 3 other girls with the same dress (different colors at least!) and now that Rent the Runway is so popular there were many girls that had the exact same dresses, same color, that I recognized from browsing the site, so you might have to think about that. Try to pick something unique.
