I was nervous to rent this dress because it had no photos or reviews yet, but I'm glad I took the risk. The previous Nicole Miller dress I rented (the Metallic Plum Ruched Dress) ran small and I ended up wearing the 8, but this dress ran larger and I wished I had gotten a 4 instead of an 8 as my backup. I ended up wearing the 6 which worked fine, but had some extra fabric at the waist and constantly fell off my shoulders. That said, it was still quite flattering and extremely comfortable, so I was able to eat a big meal and dance! It's plenty stretchy all over, and the skirt is flow-y (be careful what you wear under it if you want to salsa or swing!). I managed to wear a regular bra that matched my skin tone, so the straps weren't too noticeable under the lace sleeves. I felt it was modest and classy enough for a church wedding, but fun enough for the reception. Compared to the model I'm shorter and bustier, so it looked longer on me and exposed more cleavage. I imagine this color would look nice on a variety of skin tones. I wore it with flats and my great-grandma's clutch and pearls, but the neckline and style are pretty versatile.
