RUNS SO SMALL -- I had to go up 2 dress sizes (10R) and the chest was still small. I'm 5'9 and I didn't feel like wearing heels to my formal this year so with sandals, the regular hit the floor just right. You definitely need to be okay with showing skin, but other than that, I got so many compliments all night. Everyone said I looked like a mermaid, which is pretty much always my goal.

Definitely size up if your tall! I'm 5'9' and if I bent over or raised my arms, it wouldn't have been good. But I loved the dress so that tiny little detail really didn't matter to me. Just a warning: if you're planning on wearing your hair down, the sequins really make it hard because my hair kept getting literally stuck on the dress and I'd have to rip it out of the sequins.

I ordered a size up because of all the reviews saying how tightly it fit in the chest and they were right! If you have a cup size any larger than a B size up because it is an incredibly tight fit! The length for me was perfect because I took my shoes off to dance so I wasn't stepping on the gown however, when I had my shoes on, you could clearly see them. (I'm 5'9 and was wearing about 4.5 inch heels if that helps). Overall though, I would wear this dress again in a heartbeat! I loved it.

I didn't end up wearing this dress because, to be honest, I didn't like how it looked on me at all. I guess my expectations were already so high because it looks so amazing on others and on the model, I was just disappointed. It made my hips looks HUGE and the dress was too short even with 2 inch heels. It looked awkward on me and there wasn't a whole lot of support in the bust area, so my boobs looked really strange. And I really didn't want to wear a bra just because strapless bras annoy me. I ended up wearing the Nicole Miller Hi Lo Dream Gown (the purple dress in the picture) and my friend, Kelsi, (to my right) wore this dress. Kelsi loved it though! And it looked really good on her. So if I were to give advice to anyone, it would be to take advantage of the extra look for $25 look that you are given because this dress is a hit or miss on different people and you don't know until you put it on.

I wore this dress to prom and it was so awesome! It was easy to dance and easy to walk around in. The fit was great! I'm 5'8 and the regular was perfect length and I wore 4.5 inch heels with it. The dress underneath the slit was a little short so when the wind was blowing I had to hold it down at times, but that's me just nit-picking because I really don't think there's anything negative about this dress at all. It was so flattering and I felt so pretty throughout the whole night, I didn't wanna take it off. I also got compliments from people I've never even talked to before saying they thought I had the best dress there. I would 100% wear this dress all over again in a minute. I'm even thinking about possibly renting it again in the future because I just want to wear it again. I could probably go on and on about how much I love this dress so I'm just gonna end this by saying: RENT THIS DRESS!!

I ordered a 6R just incase the other dress I had ordered from this site (in a 4R) was too small and it turned out the 4R fit perfectly! Thank God that dress fit because the 6R in this dress barely fit my friend who was a size 2R!

I loved this dress SO much! And so did everyone else. A lot of people walked up to me multiple times saying how much they loved my dress and how great I looked in it! I would really recommend this dress for Prom or any formal affair because it's a serious showstopper and you'll definitely be noticed, but in a good way. The only critique I would have is the fact that it's really long! I ordered the Long version because I'm somewhere around 5'7 or 5'8 and with 5' heels, I was still stepping on the dress. The 4R would've probably been a perfect length so just keep in mind that unless you're planning on wearing SUPER tall heels OR you're around 5'9 or 5'10, get the Regular because it was a pain to have to worry about the length of the dress since people were stepping on it on the dance floor and I was too. But other than that, it was perfect! If I could do it all over again I would still get this dress in a millisecond!
