great for a wedding
This dress was so nice and light and easy. I choose the dress based on recommendations from the stylist. I'm 5'8", had 3" heels on and it was still just a little long. It did take two people to zip me up as the zipper was difficult to get over the waist line.

Beautiful dress, runs small
Even though I didn't get to wear this dress, it deserves a 5. I was so excited when I received this dress. It really was beautiful and felt light. I read the reviews to pick a size and thought based on those reviews I could go with a M since I'm a size 6. It would not zip all the way up. I do not consider myself to be wide and I have an average size chest. Be safe and get the size you're used to and a size up.

It's cute and summery
It does run pretty true to size. i stay between a 4 and 6, leaning towards 6 and i wore the M. The S fit but it seemed to short. I found myself pulling the shoulders down quite a bit. I tried both sizes to see if that was the issue and same thing. I did mess with the sash quite a bit too. It is cute and comfortable aside from those minor issues. I did also feel like it is a dress for someone younger.

Perfect size
This clutch was large enough to hold my iphone 6s+, lipstick, powder compact, ID and my always needed chapstick. It's not small evening purse but I also did not feel like it was too large. Fit under my arm nicely when needed so i could hold my drink and plate. I felt like it might be a little sparkly since it looks metallic in the picture but it was perfect and muted.

Lovely dress, tight arms
This dress was perfect. I say it runs a little small because because I am a 6 but had to wear the 8. I tried the 8 on first because I had read the reviews that the arms were small and I knew after I had it on that could not put on the 6. Arms are tight. I could bend my arms at the elbow but that was it. Other than the arms, it was a lovely dress that received compliments and was perfect for the occasion - not too formal and not too casual. You will need someone to zip you up.

Perfect reception dress for my pirate themed vow renewal
I fell in love with this dress the first time I saw it and just had to have it for my pirate themed vow renewal. It was perfect. I'm between a 4 and 6 right no. I ordered both sizes. The 6 barely fit. It took three people to zip it up with main problem being the boobs. I think I'm averaged size in the boob area but the picture might suggest otherwise with the way they are popping out. That said, once in, nothing moved, I never had to pull the dress up. The pockets were WONDERFUL. I'm 5'8", wore 3" heels and the R size was just right in length. I highly recommend this dress. I received soooo many compliments. Just order a size up.
