I am glad I picked up the dress from the store on 18th Street and tried it on. I originally ordered this dress 16L Green regular. After trying on the dress I ordered, it fit snug and was short. I thought this was weird considering I tried on a sample dress in the showroom that was the same size/color that hugged my curves perfectly but was about 2-3 inches too short. I was getting nervous because it was Thursday and I need the dress for Saturday with no back up plan. The attendants suggested I order another 14L (green), as well as 14WL (gold) and 16WL (gold) that would arrive next day (Friday). We (the attendant and I) figured the women's size would be a little loose around the middle but at least be long enough. Friday - I get confirmation all dresses arrived at the store. I try on the 14L. It was still too short and much tighter then the showroom dress. I then try on the 14WL; it was a little loose but the length was PERFECT (I am 5-10 without heels). I was going to pin the sides for more of a snug fit but being a seamstress is not my thing. Overall, I must say this dress was a HIT!! I received so many compliments all night. I would have preferred the green over the gold since that was what I originally ordered but everything came together in the end.
