Waist is tight on the body. Pockets are awesome. The high-low is a neat feature. The straps are best worn towards the top of the shoulder, not the center. I actually wore strappy heeled sandals and a strapless bra with this dress. The strapless allowed me to pull the back of my bra downward because it's a low V in the back. It was comfortable, but there's no way the four would have fit me. I'm a true six I guess.

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 140lbs

Bust: 36B

Color: amazing - think jungle green crayon. Length: perfect - just showed off the right amount of heel and did not drag on the ground if I was walking. Fit: tight in the bust. I wasn't able to order a size 8 to compare, and I did wear a strapless to give me more perkiness. Within an hour it wasn't noticeable that it was tight, though. I LOVED the cut. Gives you a great little waist and hides the extra flab (baby one year ago) that's still hanging in there. I loved the one-strap, I didn't have to jerk the dress around at all. The slit is very demure. You could really only see it if I popped the knee out or walked really fast or took long strides (I won't lie, I did all three a different times because I LOVED this dress). Honestly. You should get this one.

Pretty color, though I'm not sure how that one pic showed up almost chartreuse. It was comfortable, just a bit too close-fitted to the midsection. I had wanted to hide that more. Length was pretty standard - would need heels for the regular length.
