Used my backup size, the 14 fit but the thought the straps would have dug in too much on my shoulders by the end of the night. The dress is a beautiful color and so well made. The length is tea length, at at 5'5" it still felt a little long so I used temporary hem tape to fold up the length by about another 2 inches (doubled the hem) and it still was a longer length but didn't make my shorts look too stumpy. Got ton of compliments on the dress.

This is a beautifully made dress. I SO wanted to love it. It fit perfectly everywhere except for the off the shoulder part. It is not stitched down, it is folded over, so if you move your arms at all, it flips up. Couldn't wear because it looked odd. If I owned the dress, I would stitch it so it doesn't unfold because otherwise the dress is beautiful and comfortable.

This was a back up choice but when I got the dress it is so much more beautiful in person. Unfortunately if didn't fit, it is much more structured than it looks and the zipper is on the side so it makes it difficult to zip if it is a tight fit Beautiful dress and the color is amazing shade of red. Goal is to drop a bit of weight so I can rent this for next years ball!

I ordered this as my first choice but ended up going with the backups style (pictured) as it was a little more comfortable and forgiving. This dress is beautifully made and fit well except the bust was a little too snug. My hair got continuously caught in the sequins while trying the dress on too so didn't think I could deal with that issue all night long

I rent this is 14L and 16L the 14 fit perfect everywhere but the 16L gave a little more coverage in the bust. This dress is beautiful and so comfortable! I wore it with 3.5" platform shoes and the length was perfect. This dress is also so flattering, I work a spanx strapless shaper but could have probably gone with my normal underwear as the pattern in the lace is very slimming and disguised my mommy pooch well. Got SO many compliments!
