First off, this dress ended up working (and looking amazing) for the event. However, it came with a bit of anxiety after the initial time I tried it on. As you can see from my measurements, I am an average to below-average sized girl. I am no tall, nor do I have a large chest. There was NO WAY I thought I would need a tall length gown but it would have came in handy. I basically had to wear the dress with my smaller, less enhancing strapless bra in order for the dress to come down to a length that was reasonable enough for me to wear 3.5" heels. I initially tried the dress on with this new strapless from VS that is supposed to push you up 2 cup sizes but couldn't because it made the dress visibly too short in the front. So my advice, if you are in 5'4"ish range you should order this dress in regular and long lengths just to be certain and I wouldn't necessarily rent the dress if I were over 5'7" and planned on wearing heels. Aside from the initial troubles, the dress ending up fitting perfectly everywhere else and looking absolutely stunning. Got tons of compliments and passed the word about RTR to several of the wives and girlfriends of the servicemen. Will definitely be renting from RTR for my next Army ball!
