I wore this dress to the First Look for Charity (Chicago Auto Show) black tie event, and it was perfect! I am 5'6 and ordered the 0 Long, which was the perfect length with 5 inch heels. However, my friend, who is the same height as me, tried it on, and it was much shorter on her. When you're deciding on length, take into consideration how you'll fill out the hips; if you have hips and are over 5'5, I'd say to go with the long. However, if you're narrow through your hips, you probably could order Regular if you don't want to wear as high of a heel (and are under 5'7). Like many others commented on here, the sequins irritated my under arms by the end of the night. Perhaps an anti-chafing would help alleviate this problem. Another woman at the event had on the same dress, also from RTR. It was interesting to see how the dye lot was slightly different; her dress was a bit more purple. It looked great on her as well! All in all, I really felt amazing in this dress! Highly recommended, especially for someone with a fairly straight figure; it adds curves!
