I ordered the "long". I am 5'6", and wore 5 inch heels, but I am still wishing I had ordered the regular length. I did wear this dress with a mermaid slip. It made the silhouette much more dramatic, and helped a bit with the too-long length. The dress is very narrow. I usually wear a 6 or a 4. Although the 6 was a better fit on top, it was a visibly snug across my hips. I ended up wearing the 8, which was a bit loose in the chest area (I wore a very padded bra). However, the 8 did not make those "stretched fabric" lines across my pelvis. Overall, the dress was beautiful, and memorable. My husband commented that it was his favorite dress that I've worn thus far.
