I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was much too long (about 5 or 6 inches too long even with my high heels) and a little small. I rented two gowns and ended up wearing the Mystery Gown (pictured right) and loaned this gown to my friend (left) who is about 5 inches taller than me and much more slender- probably a size 2 or 0. She is a gorgeous 50 year old woman, about 5'5". Another big bonus is she didn't need to wear a bra! It flowed beautifully and looked amazing on her.

I wore this dress for a black tie gala and it fit like a dream! It is very form fitting and I was worried that the low back would make it impossible to wear shape wear undergarments. However, the shape wear came right up to the scoop in the back and worked perfectly. My breasts are pretty small so I didn't wear a bra. If you have bigger breasts I recommend using double sided tape because the front would be pretty revealing if you have cleavage. It is very stretchy so maybe if I had gone up a size I wouldn't have needed the shape wear (the 6R was not available at the time, so my only option was the 4R). I wore heels that were pretty tall and the front was perfect; it still touched the ground. The back had a slight train that drug on the ground about 3 inches.
