Stunning dress with a forgiving fit.
I'm short and curvy, at 5'2, 34D, and 130 lb. This dress was phenomenal (although it had a small hole under the arm in the mesh...) It was the perfect mix of formal and sexy/chic. I was worried it might be too much, but dressed down with simple jewelry I felt very appropriate for a black tie event. The fit was slimming and didn't hug my curvy hips too much. Could have probably worn the 4R if it had been available, but the 6R worked. Perfect length with 3.5 inch heels.

Gorgeous but snug for a girl with a booty
Loved this, but not quite perfect. The material is stretchy, which is comfortable and flexible for fit. It is also surprisingly flattering (the green at the waist is an awesome touch!) However, this dress *is* tight on the booty if you're a girl with curves. At 5'2, the length was great regardless of the tightness. With the fit in mind, this is gorgeous for a party but probably not right for dinner with the in-laws.

Hugs the hips, but still a beautiful dress!
I'm 5'2 with curves and usually wear a size 4 or 6 depending on the dress's cut. The Medium was cozy - definitely hugged my butt and hips. The small was totally impossible. Even though it was a snug fitting style, the length was perfect because of my height. I'd recommend it for a nice event where you want to feel a little sexy. Own those hips! :) Overall, a win!

Sadly didn't wear - a miss!
The cut of the sweetheart seemed bulky and unflattering. And sizing felt large. Unfortunately, I never wore this pick.

Sexy pick for a clubby night out
Very low, sexy dress worn for a bachelorette party (Im a 34C and it showed well... a lot!) It was great for Miami, but probably wouldn't work outside of a very clubby scene. I'm 5'2 and felt like the dress was a little long in the back, but overall a decent fit.

The stylists recommended a 4 and a 6 for my curvy, short body type. I am 5'2 and 127 lbs. Unfortunately, this fabric (while beautiful) was VERY hip hugging for a girl with a bigger rear end. I was able to fit the 6 easily up top (I am a 34C), but the bottom was very snug. I rented for my bachelorette, and overall this was a disappointment :(

Such a pretty dress!
This was such a stunning dress - especially in person. I was told I was best dressed several times during the night, which was such a wonderful compliment at a formal event! The dress is fitted at the chest, slightly fitted at the natural waist and loose everywhere else. I am an hourglass figure (5'2, 127lb, 34C, curvy in butt/hips) and usually wear a 4-6 in dresses depending on the fit around the hips. The 4R fit perfectly but I had to adjust a few times during the night by pulling it up. If my chest was any smaller, I would have definitely needed the size 2R to keep it up. Depending on your proportions, it may run big for you. Again, I'm 5'2. In terms of length, the 4R slightly hit the ground when I wore 3 inch heels. It was fine to stand around in and walk short distances, but ideally it would have been about an inch shorter so I could have danced freely. With sequins, your underarms will always be a little bothered, but I've definitely felt worse. I dealt with it by standing with my clutch under one arm and a wine glass in the other. Viola :)

A well named dress... I felt like a "Pretty woman" in this one :)
This was an absolutely stunning dress and I got so many compliments! I'm 5'2 and 127 lbs, 34C with a butt.. I usually wear a 4 or 6 depending on fit. In retrospect, I probably would have rented the small because the straps on the medium were a little long (not adjustable because of the lace.) I had to get creative and wear a very low sticky bra to pull off the top, but it worked! The fabric has some stretch without being clingy and I think this would flatter most body types. I will likely rent again!

Pretty Woman Lace Dress

I'm 5'2 and 127 lbs with a curvy/hourglass figure. I was worried about fit because I have a bigger "rear" for my size, but the fit had significant give to it (Stretchy). Also, the draping was very flattering. Even if the dress were tight at the hip, the draping would cover any noticeable pulls. Very comfortable and cute overall. The 4 was pretty short on my 5'2 frame, so keep that in mind taller girls :)
