I wore the size 4 regular to a formal wedding. It’s a dang miracle I fit into this dress and wore it as well as I did. I am 50yrs old, 36B chest, 133lbs (but fluffy gut and bigger booty). I loved this gown and received many compliments. The size 4 was my back up, I had ordered a 6. The 6 would have fit my midsection much better but it was way too big in the bust. Also, someone before me had MACHINE HEMMED (wtf!?!) the bottom of the dress which absolutely ruined the beautiful silhouette of this dress. Thank goodness I was able to wear the 4 with the help of some very strong shape-wear or I would’ve been out of luck. The dress is loooooong. I am 5’3” and I wore 3” heels and the fabric still lightly dusted the floor. I could’ve used an extra ½ inch of height and it would’ve been perfect. All in all I liked this dress. I felt good. I think shorter folks will drown in it - Beware! I think it is friendly to body shapes that aren’t rail thin but probably not super curvy.

I ordered a size 2 with the 4 as my back up size. I could fit into the 2, but it was pretty tight at the waist/middle. It fit me perfectly in the bust (I'm a 34B). I wore the 2 for my date, but honestly the 4 would've been more comfortable. I let my ego cram myself into the 2. Lol. The 4 was roomier in the waist but slightly too big in the bust line and a tad longer than the 2. I am a pear shaped and in the neighborhood of 128-131 pounds. Order a size UP as your back up. There isn't any give at the waistline. Length wise both sizes were good...above knee with the 4, mid-thigh with the 2. I am almost 5'4". I think really tall or busty women may find this style too short or too restricting. Overall, I loved the style and color of this dress. I felt feminine and pretty. Plus, I received many compliments.

I liked how light weight they were to wear. They made a statement but were not too over the top in size or length. I would purchase these if I could.

I am almost 5'4". The jumpsuit was extremely short. So much so, that I wore tights. Otherwise my bottom butt cheeks would have been exposed. Not the look I was aiming for. The rise was really high. I don't have a long torso either. I feel this jumpsuit, or perhaps this particular size XS, was made for someone under 5'4" and no bigger bust size than a B cup. I had no problem with the clasps staying closed. Thankfully in the 5 hours that I wore this outfit, I never had to use the restroom. This outfit is WORK getting into and out of. So many clasps and buttons. I loved the overall look and it was comfortable enough for the evening.

I am so thankful for the reviews that led me to go with the petite size. I NEVER wear petite sizes. I ended up wearing the Petite SZ 2. I am just about 5'4". I wore standard 3" heel sandals (no platform) and the petite length was perfect. The bust was pretty tight with a padded bra on. I probably could have worn it without, but it made me feel more secure. I think someone with a very large bust may be uncomfortable in this dress. There is no give in the top. I have a bit of mommy tummy, and the cut of this dress hid that very well. I loved the color hot pink color of the dress. It's not neon (thank goodness!). The weight of the dress was comfortable even for a Vegas outdoor wedding. If you have similar measurements, I would recommend ordering the 4 as a back - up. I feel like I was just on the cusp of the next size up. A size zero would have been absolutely too small.
