I've never experienced a situation where I got as many compliments from strangers as I did while wearing this dress. The 4R was the only size available, and I was nervous because I couldn't get in contact with anybody to find out about length. I'm 5'11" so I was afraid it would be too short. It was the perfect length for me wearing flats or sandals with a very small heel. It would be difficult for somebody more petite to wear this dress without hemming quite a bit. I am very small on top (my bust as well as my overall frame) and I always have to wear a bra, or I look completely flat. This dress was awesome, though, because it has perfect boning in the bust and I was able to go braless with comfort! Very exciting. I'd say this dress is about TTS but it may run a little small.... I'm usually a 2 or sometimes 0, and this dress fit me well but as I wore it, I realized I did have a bit more extra room than I thought. Not sure if the 2 would fit better or not. The color is gorgeous, and the skirt part has a bit of sheen to it. I will say that the dress was extremely wrinkled when I received it, which was a pretty big inconvenience since I was out of town and very short on time. I'm not sure if I would rent this dress again... I think I'd be more likely to try to buy it!
