Elegant black tie dress
I'm 5'4" and wore 4" heels and the regular length just skimmed the ground. The only negative of this dress is that it is very difficult to put on- you might need help with the back zipper. Fit true to size, was comfortable and flattering.

Beautiful dress, runs very small
I typically wear a 2, and could barely zip up the 4 on this one. I also did not realize that the mesh lining running up the center of the chest was see-through, and didn't feel like it was an appropriate look for the black tie wedding I was attending. This dress is very flattering from the waist up, but makes your hips look quite large due to the pleating. Beautiful dress, fit is so odd I would not rent again.

Fun dress for a bachelorette party!
This was a backup dress, selected at the flagship store in NY. I typically wear a 2, but tried on the 0 and it was comfortably snug. I think this dress works best a little tight, because it's very flattering and figure hugging. The only thing I would be cautious of is that the silver grommets go up quite high- I had to continually adjust to make sure my underwear weren't showing.

Great for a bridal shower!
I'm typically a size 2, and I was able to get the 2 on and zip it, but it was just too tight for the event. The 4 was a looser feel, and fit more like it does on the model. I got tons of compliments, and it was great for my friend's bridal shower at a nice restaurant.

Vintage Blues Dress
Milly
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"
Cute dress, preppy and fun style
The zipper on this dress was nearly impossible. Needed help getting it up and was almost positive I wouldn't be able to wear the dress but gave it one last chance and got lucky. It wasn't too tight- I could pull both sides of the dress together easily, so it seems like the zipper is not a great quality. That being said, once it's on the dress is flattering and fun. Skirt was fuller than I expected.

Beautiful fabric, striking dress
The dress was beautiful, but a bit too large. I normally wear a size 2 but it was not available. 4(10) still fit, but I think it would have looked a little nicer in the smaller size. Gaps significantly at the neck if you lean forward, but could have been because of the size. Would rent again if the 2(8) was available.

Elegant dress
Dress is elegant and great for a black tie event. Ran long- I am 5'4", wore 4" heels and it still brushed the floor (made it hard to get up and down stairs without tripping). Also ordered the 2, which I could zip, but it was uncomfortably tight on my ribs. Next time around I would go for the 4 petite.

Absolutely loved these. I can see why some experienced pain from the weight, but for me they were fine.
