Cute material, but very short!
I am 5'4", 135 lbs and wear a 34E. I rented this for a cocktail party where I could be a bit glam. The 8 barely fit and was so short that I could not wear it even with flats. (I'm almost 40 and it was probably the right length for a cute teen, but not for the momma of a teen...) The deep-v neck was very sexy, but the whole dress was too tight and too small for me to wear. I think I may have been able to wear the 10, but I'm not sure if it would have been long enough.

Felt pretty!
This dress is a ton of fun. You have a puff sleeve and a big fat bow on one shoulder. I put a sparkly pin in the middle of the bow and decided not to wear a necklace. I did wear big sparkly earrings. The dress was cut high enough that I was able to wear a strapless bra without the top of the bra showing. It was not too short. I did wear ALL the Spanx since it is very very fitted. But I got lots of compliments. The color is a lovely dark navy, which is a great alternative to black. I wore it with burgundy velvet heels, which looked really nice. I am 5' 4", 135 lbs and wear a 34E. The medium fit well (but with heavy duty Spanx).

Great dress!
Really lovely material and good quality, but did not fit around my large bust.

Felt so gorgeous!
Fabric is light and comfortable. Length was perfect with kitten heels. (I'm 5'4" and wore the 10P.) The zipper was tricky because there is thick material on the bodice, but once on it was fabulous. I love the neckline. Wore it with big pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. Understated but sexy. Felt beautiful and glamorous without being flashy. Definitely age appropriate! Loved this dress.

This dress fit over my 20-week pregnant bump.
I normally wear a 4 or 6 (5'4", 125, 32E). I wore this dress while 20 weeks pregnant. My weight was 141 and my bust is up to a 36G. The zipper is super tricky, especially at the spot where there's a waist band. Assume that you will need help to hike that up, even if the fit is roomy. This dress needed an extra safety pin at the bust for modesty (it is LOW) and was the perfect length in the long. I did wear really high 4-in heels and the dress swept the floor beautifully. It was comfortable for dancing. I didn't notice any issues under the arms--no issues with the sequins (other people reported that). The one thing I wish it had was some bra strap keeps; the shoulders slipped off a couple of times. Overall, absolutely great dress. And I'd call the customer service group for help with sizing. I did also get a 6R, 8R and 14L. The 8R would absolutely not zip!!

Fabulous dress to dance the night away!
This dress fit like a glove and looked so glamorous. I'm 5'4" and wore sequined gold flats -- comfortable for dancing. I wore simple jewelry; this dress needs almost nothing. The fabric is beautiful and the skirt is SO MUCH FUN to dance in. It was also modest on the top. I could wear a regular flesh colored bra. I wear a 32E, so being able to have bra straps for extra support was a huge bonus.

Beautiful dress!
Dress fit like a glove in the 4R with a strapless bra underneath. I'm a 32DD--the bra was needed despite the well made bodice. The 6R was too big all over. I'm 5'4" and wore the regular with flats. Loved it! So much more comfortable than heels and could dance all night. Lots of compliments!Material is beautiful. Great dress! Both sizes had tricky zippers. The gathers on the front (knee level)fell off before I even left the house and required quick repair before the event.
