This is the second time I've rented this dress. The first time I wore it, back in 2010, I wore this to a press party at an upscale fashion boutique, and felt like I fit right in. I rented the 10 and the 12 then, and wore the 10. The second time I rented it, in September 2013, I again rented the 10 and the 12 and wore the 12. Someone posted something about it not being a great dress for full-busted women adn I tend to think that's accurate. I felt like I was displaying my bust most of the night, which was a little odd. I am short, short-waisted and pear shaped, so the length on this and the full skirt was fantastic. It's also tremendously comfortable and light cotton, terrific for 90-degree-plus days in Houston's never-ending summers. The straps had a tendency to constantly fall off my shoulders, which I hated, but I'm sure that may have been fixed with safety pins, which I didn't have. I say it runs a little small because it's a pretty tight fit for a 12, but beautiful. Loved the print and the little bow detail on the bodice. Absolutely recommend this!
