Comfortable, sleek, and loads of compliments!
I ordered the 10 (my usual size) and got the 14 as a back-up (12 was out of stock). The 10 fit perfectly, but the zipper was so hard to use, even on the hanger, that I ended up wearing the 14. It was WAY too big, but the drape on the legs camouflaged the size pretty well. I wear a 34 G and the top was still baggy enough that I had to pin it closed. Do be aware that it is VERY low cut. The legs also run short but in a way that seems to be on purpose. I'm 5'6" and with a 3.5" inch heel they were hanging around my ankles. Once we switched to flip-flops (as seen in the picture), the legs hit right at the tops of my feet. Something to be aware of if you're short. All that said, I got tons of compliments and have never been so comfortable at a wedding before.

Gorgeous dress!
Loved this dress! If you've got a chest like I do, it is revealing, but I didn't think it was too bad. I would definitely recommend fashion tape to keep everything in place. The dress is silk, so I would be very cautious about trying to pin the neckline closed as the fabric could easily rip. Don't hesitate to rent this dress. It was perfect length-wise with 3 1/2 inch heeled sandals (I'm just a bit over 5' 5").

Fun & Different!
Loved this skirt! I wore it with a black body suit as opposed to renting the matching top and it worked out really well. I am a bit short waisted, so the waistband actually sat on my lower ribcage and was a bit tight. If you're between sizes, or have a generous midsection, I'd recommend sizing up. Also - pockets!

Classy and glamorous!
Normally I take a 6/8 in dresses, but I read the reviews for the black version of this dress that stated that the chest portion ran very small. I'm very chesty (36 DD+) so I ordered an 8 and a 10. Couldn't breath in the 8, so I went with the 10, though even with that one I had to forego a bra in order to be comfortable in the chest. In the 10, I still had an inch or two of room in the waist, but the dress is well-made and fell beautifully so it wasn't noticeable. The length is sort of high-low and flares at the hips. There isn't a petticoat, but the fabric of the skirt portion has some stiffness to it so it retains it shape even after dancing etc. I loved this dress and would rent it again in a heartbeat. Do be aware that the back is a bit low so you may have trouble wearing a normal bra, but going bra-less is easy because the sequins on the bodice obscure any nipple action.

Gorgeous Fabric, Endless Compliments!
I typically wear a 6/8 in dressed but ordered an 8 and 10 in this dress because I'm quite chesty (36 DD+). The 8 fit beautifully everywhere but gave me WAY to much cleavage for a wedding. Wore the 10, which still fit nicely and was more forgiving in the chest. If you are large chested, I would highly suggest ordering a size up. The rest of the dress (waist, shoulders, etc.) seem to be true to size, but the chest wasn't made for the generously endowed. The fabric is gorgeous, the length is around the knee. Overall I felt gorgeous and comfortable.

Great bag, not as wide as I would have hoped!
Bag is adorable but narrower than I would have liked. Because of the rigid shape, my things had to be carefully placed every time I went to close it so that it would shut. To give you an idea, an iPhone in a slim case and a lipstick could not be placed on top of one another if I wanted the bag to close. Great bag, but pack LIGHT!

Gorgeous dress, photographs beautifully, dangerously short.
This dress fit true to size but was much shorter than expected. Dangerously short. Do not bend over or take the stairs short. It looked beautiful and was super comfortable, but be aware of the length! I ended up wearing tights underneath to avoid flashing everyone. (Incidentally, it looks nice with black tights if you're renting for a winter event.) Material of the dress is also fairly heavy, so it was a bit warm while dancing.
