I rented this for a simple dinner on my birthday and couldn't be more satisfied. Upon taking it out of the box, I wasn't so sure I was going to like it because the bottom of the dress has some sort of mesh hemming to make the skirt fan out in true skater dress fashion and whomever ironed it, pressed the imprint of the hemming into the dress. Luckily, it didn't show when I put the dress on and it just hung and flowed beautifully. I normally wear a 6 but the 4 fit like a glove. I have no hips so maybe that's a contributing factor. Although a seemingly simple style, it's cute and girly and at 5'8, the dress was a flirty yet classy mid-thigh length on me. Other reviews stated the sleeves were too long but I found them to be shorter than I'd like. One cute detail, though, were the zippers at the wrists. Another was the asymmetrical neckline which will be overpowered with any kind of bib or statement necklace so choose accessories wisely. (I didn't wear the jewelry in the picture.) The fabric is a nice weight with a some stretch to it. I don't have the flattest stomach on the planet but you couldn't notice a bit of bulge so if your abs aren't washboard, this is a great choice. The dress comes with inside snaps that some reviewers used to secure bra straps. I think they are there to hold down the hanger straps because they pop out if they aren't secured down. I wore a regular bra and the straps didn't show at all. My night was filled with dinner and dancing and this dress is perfect for both.
