All righty RTR-ers, I wish this were more plainly spelled out before I rented. I'm 5'5" and a half and went with a MR because I didn't want to be stepping on my gown all night. The dress fit perfectly, EXCEPT for the hem, which was about 2" too short - I wore gladiator sandals, so it wasn't heel height that was the problem. The jersey is typical jersey fabric - I don't think it warrants a $160 rental (or the "value" of the dress) and I wore spanx to smooth everything out because it does show quite a bit otherwise. I wish this rental included fashion tape because I did need to tape the keyhole in order for it to look appropriate for the affair. I also did not wear a bra (I'm a C-cup) and it worked out OK (it's a dual-layered jersey fabric, and in the black I didn't feel exposed). I bought a vintage belt online and if I hadn't belted the dress it definitely would've left me shapeless. I think it needs a belt for full effect. I give this dress a 4/5 stars because of the length, but it was otherwise PHENOMENAL. Another great rental from RTR :)
