So here's the skinny on this dress: if you are tall, it is amazing because it has a slight train in the back so it is plenty long. If you are athletic (I've been a swimmer most my life) and have lats, the waist is REALLY high-well above the natural waist on a tall gal-and difficult to close. It took a team of three to squeeze me into this thing. Mind you, I am thin, and in most dresses would wear a size 2L. So just be ready for that...order your regular size and a size up as your backup...if you're like me. Now for the upsides, this dress was GORGEOUS. The button up back was fully worth the effort that it took to get it buttoned...and unbuttoned ;) The embroidery was impeccable and stunning. The skirt was flowing and regal with an amazing sky high slit. Wax, shave, moisturize, because that leg will be on full display (one of my favorite things about this dress). The flowing movement of the skirt as you walk makes you feel like you stepped right off the runway. I love this dress and will definitely keep my eye on patricia dean in the future. I wish i had gotten better pictures of this dress, because it was TOTALLY elegant and beautiful beyond what you are getting in these pics...it completely fulfilled my expectations. I love rent the runway, the customer service is without equal and I will rent from this company again and again. Theres nothing like wearing a 2000 dress and paying a fraction of that!
