As a short person, I normally don't try to wear long dresses.  But I've been having some foot problems and needed to wear some rather ugly shoes to this wedding (or face lots of pain), so I went long to hide the shoes.  I've also lost a little weight recently, so I rented the 12R and 10R, not sure which would be better.  I ended up going with the 10R, which was very snug around the ribcage but fit better overall on the top of the dress.  I used some pins at the shoulders and hem tape to bring up the bottom about 4-5 inches (would have needed the hem tape even in tall heels).  I really do not think this dress runs small... I think some other reviewers didn't pay attention to the UK sizing.  The 10R really did feel like a US 4.

The dress is really beautiful, and I got many compliments on it.  It moves well and is very vibrant on top.  I don't think long dresses look great on short girls, so I'm not sure I would rent it again, but I really enjoyed wearing it.

I wore the R length as I'm 5'2", but even with 4 inch heels, it was still too long. I was picking the dress up any time I walked.  Also, the bust was a bit too large for me even though this size fit well around the waist. I used a safety-pin to keep from flashing other guests. I would definitely rent this again! The colors are so gorgeous and it flows like a dream in the breeze. If you're even just thinking about renting this one, stop thinking and get it already. 

After reading the reviews I thought this dress ran long, so I ordered the R length.  I ended up wearing the 10R for length but it was slightly too large up top.  The 8L would have been perfect with a heel.  So if you are 5'8" or up and wear heels, I suggest the longer length in size that matches.  GREAT DRESS regardless!  

I LOVED this dress, it was perfect for a summer black tie optional wedding.  The fabric is light chiffon so ot was great for hot weather.  The color and print were great with a tan.  I found the fit relatively easy and was able to wear an x-back bra.  It is very fitted at the waist so consider sizing up (and beware it's British sizing!)  I'm 5'6" and wore the long with 4" heels but it was a bit long on me.
