I rented both the 0 and the 2 and since I had lost a little weight before the wedding I figured the 0 would work well. For the most part the 0 was fine except for in the ribcage area. There is a slight line between the top and skirt portion that unfortunately hit at just the right spot in my ribcage that made zipping the size 0 very difficult and I had trouble breathing. Without a bra it was fine, but since I have a smaller bust and the dress is somewhat lower cut, I didn't feel comfortable utilizing that option. As described in the other reviews, the sleeves did fall down and were essentially more decorative than actually used to hold up the dress. I was able to pull the sleeves up a bit higher on my shoulders with the 2, which stopped them from perpetually slipping, but didn't completely eliminate some minor slipping. Nothing that fashion tape wouldn't fix. U actually used the piece of string that is tied to both sleeves to keep them in place, although if you don't have long hair like I do or are wearing an updo, I would skip tying them together and opt for fashion tape. Although the size 0 I received didn't have the string, so maybe get some fashion tape as backup either way. Those would be my only "complaints" although I gladly would put up with fashion tape to wear this dress. It was beautiful and the color of the yellow was perfect for a spring wedding. It was easy to move in and comfortable, and the lace detailing was very nice. Overall it was a stunning dress and I received many compliments. I didn't even accessorize it that much because it stood out enough on its own. I chose large chandelier earrings and opted for no necklace and tan pumps and it worked well.
