I wore this to my daughter's debutante ball. I usually wear a 6, but read the reviews and did need the next size up. I am 5'10" and wore 4 inch heels and the length of the 8L was perfect, it still hit the floor. So many compliments of it being the best dress in the room. It looked unique and different from all the other dresses. The box with the two dresses came in time. Will definitely rent again.
