I rented this dress for a formal birthday dinner. Loved it! I expected it to run small based on some of the reviews, and it did, although not as much as I was expecting. I am a 4 or occasionally a 6, and the M worked well. The L was not available as a back up size so I was worried, but it all worked out--I think the L would have been too big as this is meant to be a form fitting dress. It was tough to zip up, but as some of the other reviews mention it will zip up just fine with some help. My boyfriend helped zip me up, although I couldn't wear a bra with it. If you are bigger than a C or a D you may not be able to wear a bra either. I was comfortable with this though because there was enough material and detail around the chest that you absolutely couldn't tell. The only other reason I am giving this 4 and not 5 stars is because some of the pleats didn't fall quite how I wanted them to--but this was straight out of the bag and to be honest I didn't take the time to steam or iron (and now I wish I had at least steamed the bottom from the looks of it!) Overall I was happy, thought the fit was flattering, and the color was beautiful (looks a little darker in my pic because of the lighting). Definitely recommend!
