I loved this dress. It was perfect for a black-tie optional December wedding in San Francisco. The ceremony started at 2:30 and San Francisco is notoriously casual, so I was hesitant to wear something more formal. This tea length dress was the perfect compromise (even on someone 5'9), and the thick fabric made it very appropriate for December. It definitely ran large, I'm almost always at 6 and glad I sized down and got the 4 as my backup. I wore sticky bra cups, and think anyone with a chest larger than a C would be uncomfortable; I had more cleavage than usual in this dress. The only drawback of this dress, which is common in strapless dresses, is that I had to pull it up a few times. However, it stayed put enough to dance and overall, this was more of a slight annoyance than deal-breaker. OH, and it had pockets. Need I say more?
