It was my boyfriend's first time being able to attend a Marine Corp Ball with a date (missed his last chance because of being in Afghanistan) and my first experience with such an event. Needed something attractive, elegant; I needed a long dress. I am 5'11". Despite designers using people with my dimensions to sell their clothing, they rarely seem to make floor length dresses long enough for us. HOWEVER. In ballet flats, this just touched the ground on me. First long dress I've ever been able to wear! Also, the pattern is flattering to the stomach, it hugged everything nicely. I don't have much cleavage so it couldn't do much for that, but really flattering neckline anyway. Also, very easy to move in; we were able to dance no problem. The dress got tons of compliments, absolutely perfect for the evening, my boyfriend was blown away and so were all of friends. Fit Essentials: I am straight and narrow, except for a pretty serious butt. I wore a 2L. Height: 5'11" Waist: 26-27" Bust: 33" HIps: 37"

Great dress, looks gorgeous and just like the picture, though beware if you have hips or a butt! The waist of the 2 was comfortable, but the hips were pretty darn tight on me; my measurements: bust - 34", waist - 26", hips - 38". Back doesn't allow for a bra, but I was fine without one.

I'm not sure if this runs big or small, because on me it did both. It is a breathtaking dress, but it hit me very awkwardly. I have a small chest (32"), and a butt. It was big on top (I ordered a zero!), at least an inch too loose in the waist (I'm slender but not tiny, my waist is 26") , and so tight on my hips (36") I couldn't even put it on. I got it as a back up, but I had hoped to be able to rent it again at a future date. Too bad!

I'm very tall with a boyish figure, and a short waist. Strapless dresses rarely stay put on me or flatter my lack of curves. However, the fitted bodice worked like no other, the dress was not too short (just an inch or two above the knee) and I got compliments galore. Wore for sophomore prom, definitely recommend.

Beautiful dress that fit like a glove. Definitely a little darker, more pewter looking in person, but the embroidery is gorgeous. Beware if you have a butt; it was enough of a squeeze to make me wear the size up 2. Overall though, structured enough to stay in place through the night and hugs everything perfectly. Lots of compliments! Wore it for prom with nude pumps. Hits a couple inches above the knee, but definitely long enough to be classy which is a nice change. It's often difficult trying to find a long enough dress!

Definitely runs small. My past two rtr rentals have been a zero; I ended up with a 4 this time. Order up FOR SURE. Also, not as flattering as I would have hoped! I am very slender, short waisted, in good shape. But this just hit me wrong. Also, it was VERY short. That being said, still a gorgeous dress, and a lot of fun.

Although probably not the most flattering for a small bust (like me), with the help a strip or two of dress tape to keep things in place, this dress worked great! Wore it to a wedding; lots of compliments. The print looks even better in person.
