I fell in love with this dress, as many reviews here also said, I didn't want to send it back. I wore it to a very fancy wedding and got compliments from many many people, a lot who I didn't even know. It really is very forgiving, covers everything up in the right places and sat beautifully on my body. I felt glamorous in it and was very comfortable the whole night. the dark metal zippers add a lot of character to the dress and several people said how they were the perfect touch on the dress.Only downside is due to the hanging sleeve on one side it made it hard to lift that hand while dancing so at time I looked a little handicapped with one hand waving in the air and the other at half mast but it was still more than fine. I am 5'5/5'6 and wore a 3/3.5 inch heel and the Long was just a little long, I didnt have an option of regular length though so it was fine, I did have to left it up a lot of the time when walking and dancing, and held it up with one hand most of the night. Othersie it was amazing - I highky recommend if anyone wants to wow not just the crowd but the biggest fashion critics there.
