I rented this dress for NYE and ordered a 6 and an 8 I am 5'2 and a curvy woman, but never have an issue with a size 6 where ever I may be shopping. My bust is a 34D and the top part of this dress fit fine, however the bottom was a little too tight in that I was afraid it might not fit. However, with the help of spanks it did. It was very cute, but this dress has no stretch in it at all. I would def. rent a dress from this site again, but maybe a less form fitting dress. All in all turned out okay.
