The dress fit perfectly true to size. I rented the regular, because I am 5'5" and the description for length says " LENGTH: Two lengths available. Regular measures 58'' from shoulder to hem (recommended for heights 5'2''-5'6''), Long measures 61'' from shoulder to hem (recommended for heights 5'7''-5'11'')." I was thinking the length meant for those heights wearing heels...but it means that it will hit the floor when you are wearing it at your height without heels. I wore flats with the dress, which ended up being perfect because the Baccus Ball during Mardi Gras can get pretty rowdy. But, if you are looking to wear heels, get the Long...but it may be MUCH longer. My friend rented a Badgley Mischka dress in both long and regular, and the long was 6" longer than the regular. So, for someone like me that had the regular hit perfectly at the floor with flats, the long would have been too long with regular 4" heels, and would have to be shortened with hem tape.
