I rented this for NYE and ended up going with my backup dress. This dress is SO sparkly and lovely. However, I felt the skirt was too long for me and emphasized my hips (though looking at the picture of when I tried it on, I think I like it more now than I did then). It looked much better when I taped it up just an inch or so - but I was hosting the party and did not want to run the risk of my hem falling as I was running around. I got the 4 and the 6 and did not really notice any size difference except the length, so I would have worn the 4. I also didn't love the built-in belt, which cut my short torso even more than usual. This would be great for taller girls. I did love that I could wear a regular bra with it, and the color of the sparkles was unique (and very mermaid-like). If they made it in petite sizes I'd definitely have worn it!
