This backup dress fit--and looked--better than expected. It was true to size, classily form-flattering, and its color seemed truer to the website icon than to some of the photos shared by wearers--a soft pink, almost rose, but still in the pink wheelhouse. I thought the material was very delicate and sophisticated--not cheap-seeming at all (as suggested by some other reviews.) My only shared issue was with the breast room--I typically have trouble filling UP the cups of an outfit, but this dress had me squished/overflowing a tad too much on one side (which cheapened the look overall from an otherwise very classy style). This leads me to believe it is designed specifically for a straight-and-narrow, modely body--since I barely have any upper curves myself! If you are long and lean this dress is definitely rockable. I do not think you have to be tall, per se--I am not, and I was surprised with how flattering the length was, albeit slightly more conservative (on the bottom, that is ;).

I didn't tell the bride that I would be renting my MOH gown...Thankfully, she got hitched without a hitch! I felt like the XS in this gown would have been a tad more flattering on my waist and lower backside, since the materials were a bit bulkier than expected, and the dress does balloon, of course! However, I couldn't zip the XS up all the way safely (I have a fairly muscular back and broad shoulders for my size). Thankfully, the S zipped up snugly but successfully and was NOT too baggy in the boob area--a problem I would typically have with a size S or 4--so I'd say the Small fit more like my usual size 2 than the XS did. I had no zipper issues like the other reviews mentioned--it stayed up securely all night long! My only complaint(s): the mesh material was plasticy in person (a bit cheaper seeming than expected), and my anklets kept getting caught on it when I walked! (Thankfully without ripping...because plasticy and strong :). Also, as careful as the packaging was when it arrived, I had to steam the top (which had creased diagonally along the breast fabric) and the under layer--to keep it from riding/crumpling up in a staticy way. Overall the cut of the skirt delivered the flattering flair I was hoping for--the dress was both snug and comfortable (especially for a shoulderless), the color was as promised, and the bride and I were very happy with my rental! I fit right in with the bridal party at her beautiful Laguna Beach wedding.
