I got this for a wedding in New Orleans and thought this dress would be the perfect choice due to the print and color and I love mermaid dresses! Sadly though - this dress runs large in the waist and hips. I read the reviews beforehand and figured Vera runs small so best to go up a size.. I should have stayed with the size 0R. I'm 5'3 105lbs 34b 25 waist and 33 hips - the length was perfect with a 4 inch heel. I wish this dress would have been more fitted in the waist and hip area but it was too baggy in a 2r - the bust however is VERY FITTED and im a 34b if that tells you anything. i was able to zip up both the inner zipper and the outer on my own with no problems but the bust was definitely SNUG...also note that the dress is supposed to be fitted down to your knees so the walking space is limited, overall though I thought it was a beautiful dress but needed it in a 0. I would recommended if you are similar to my build that you go with a 0 and a size up just in case. I went with another dress option I had picked out and that one fit like a glove! I would rent this again but in 0R for another event. lesson learned.
