This dress is a really cute, pretty, pink dress, perfect for a Summer wedding. However, the straps do tend to run large (or tall?) and you definitely need some garment tape to keep them in place. I found if i taped the back of the straps first, the front of the dress held into place pretty well. It's a shame, because it makes the dress uncomfortable to wear since you are always worried it will slip off or look messy on. Even in this photo you can see where the tape was tacked up front causing a buckle to the photo. If you have a long torso this dress could be the dress for you!

This was a really fun dress to wear to my friends wedding in January. The 8R was the right length for 1 - 3" heels on my 5'5" frame, though I wore flats underneath. I would highly recommend this dress, but if you are small chested, i would rent a size down. The back is stretchy, and the 8R was loose on me up top. It's a good thing I had a bulky strapless bra to help fill up the space, otherwise it wouldn't have stayed up!

This dress really isn't very formal at all, better for a party or a night out. I am pretty curvy, but unfortunately, this dress kind of accentuated the bad curves (big hips & thighs) but not the good ones (my smaller waist was hidden under boxy draping), I wore the 10 instead of 8 because I felt it was slightly more flattering. I'd recommend this for slim girls, it'll look wonderful on a size 0 - 6.
