I am 5'9", 135lbs and typically wear a size 4, sometimes a 6. I ordered the 40L and the 42L. The 40L was just a little snug around my armpits/shoulders and the 42L was a little loose all over. Both were very long. I ended up wearing the 40L because it was a bit shorter and really fit like a glove. Since I'm 5'9", I'm used to ordering long/tall in everything. However, since RTR gives the shoulder to hem length of the dress, I should have measured and compared it to the distance between my shoulder and the floor while wearing heels. I suggest you do that. One more VERY important note - be extremely careful when sitting down!! The fabric of this dress crosses beautifully at the waist, but it is not sewn shut. I used almost all of the double sided tape RTR sent with my rentals just to keep my dress closed. It looks great when you're standing or walking, but I was attending a formal sit-down dinner and had to keep my napkin on my lap at all times! I know the rental price of this dress is on the higher end for RTR, but it is so worth it! Where else can you have access to a $2k + dress for $300? I stood at the UPS dropbox with it in my hands for a few seconds before being able to let go!
