4L was the perfect length for 5'8 with heels. The only hassle with the dress are the straps on which the dress hangs on the hanger - they kept coming out in all places (at the front, on the sides, etc). Using a safety pin to pin them down taught against the bodice on the inside did the trick. Also - the dress is gorgeous and perfect for pictures but movement in the arms is very restricted, so not the most ideal for dancing. Overall a great dress, and lots of compliments!

The 2L was a bit too short for heels, so I wore with flats which allowed the bottom to cover the floor perfectly. Compared to the 2R, the length of the "L" is added in the strap, making the dress a little too low cut for me personally, but it still looked great (although I had to keep pulling it up often throughout the night). The dress is tight in all the right places, but is stretchy, too, so very comfy! Overall a great look for a black tie affair.

This dress fit perfectly, and the 2L was an ideal length for 5'8 height + 3 inch heels. Bust area was completely secure - no need for fashion tape (and you can wear a regular T-shirt bra - nothing will show). The dress is so light and airy - makes you feel flawless! :) Highly recommended.

I usually wear a 2L in other dresses from RTR, and I wore the XS here. For someone who is a true XS and has a tiny frame, this dress may be too big. I also wore flats with the dress, so the length was perfect - the bottom hit right at the floor. I found the belt to be useful to accentuate the waist, and the fact that straps were adjustable was wonderful. For someone with a small bust, no bra is needed for this dress - it's not too loose around the chest, and holds everything in. Overall, I would highly recommend this one. I felt so comfortable all night - there's absolutely nothing bad/uncomfortable about this dress!

I wore a 2L with flat sandals to make sure my feet were covered - the length was perfect. The dress is snug but hugs in all the right places. The fabric is thick enough that you can wear it with spanx and nothing will show. Beautiful and easy dress, I highly recommend it!

This dress fits great! It has a lot of stretch. I'm a 2 on average (sometimes a 0 and sometimes a 4), but was able to wear a 0 in this dress, and i wouldn't say it runs large. I dressed it down for a casual party by wearing opaque black tights and black flats. I was comfortable all night, but still "dressed up" so it was a win-win.

I wanted to wear completely flat sandals to my formal event, so I was looking for a long dress that would come down to the floor and cover my feet. I am 5'7, and the 2L was the PERFECT length. In my flats, the dress touched the floor in the front, and was a tad bit longer in the back, and you could not see my feet at all. Obviously, if you are taller than 5'7 and want to wear heels - this is not the dress for you. The dress runs very true to size and has a bit of stretch, and I would suggest going a size down for a back-up. I normally wear 0-2/XS-S tops, and I felt like this dress in size 0 would have fit as well, and the 4 would've been too big.
