I rented a 2 and a 4, there weren't many reviews when I was renting it so I just went with my typical sizes because I love the photos. I rented this for a grad school gala, formal attire with a midsummer nights dream theme. I didn't want to go long and I wanted something a little more edgy and cool so this was perfect. When I tried the 2 and 4 on I was so upset because it's not as fitted and short as it was on the model, it looked matronly and baggy on me (esp the 4 - it was huge)! Given that I had a day to turn this around I decided I had to just "Make it Work" a la Tim Gunn - I fake-hemmed the dress to the length on the model and accessorized! A sparkly necklace, earcuff, statement shoes and red lip are what helped bring this dress from a "meh" to a "Wow". I don't recommend the dress to anyone who wants to throw a dress on and go, this is one that requires some thought to create a look around. Ultimately, I was happy with it - It was a comfortable, t-shirt fit so I could be free to dance and eat. Plus, I got compliments all night and people loved the sexy peekaboo back!
