Perfect length in back, no tripping or getting stepped on while dancing. 6 was the perfect size for me, the waist was neither loose nor tight - it is true that there is no give in the fabric. I did not fill out the bust but you couldn't tell since the top is structured. I was glad I've been lifting weights recently because I feel like my (lightly) toned arms balanced out the big skirt better than they would have in my weakling days.

Loved the bright color for the Indian wedding I was attending. I usually wear size 6 for dresses that are fitted in the hips but for this one, I didn't even need to try on the 6. My only (small) negatives on this dress were the way it sometimes would pull given the uneven shoulders (see my picture), and that people stepped on the back of the dress a few times since the cape part will flare out a little when you are walking. I would definitely rent again though - I've never seen a dress quite like this one.
