This dress definitely runs short. I'm 5'-3" and had to wear the Long size because the Regular was unavailable. I've never been a long anything in my life, but in heels the length was actually just about right. I'd order up for your back up size; I got into the 0 but just barely. The major downside to this dress was that the boning was poking through the bodice lining and stabbed me all night long. I'm not sure if this is particular to the one I received or if all of them have this problem, but it was definitely uncomfortable. That said, I really liked this dress and got lots of compliments wearing it!

I was disappointed by this when it arrived. The fabric looked cheap and the middle band of color is actually a grosgrain ribbon, which I didn't realize when I looked at the photo. I couldn't even get close to zipping the 0. I'm sure this would be pretty on a tall woman for the right occasion, but it wasn't right for me.

I wore this to a party and got tons of compliments. I don't usually wear things this tight but it was really fun and definitely got lots of attention! I'd second the recommendation to order up a size on your backup. I'm usually a 0 and I didn't even attempt to squeeze myself into the XS. Bandage dresses show every single everything so be ready to skip the bra etc and possibly solid foods for a week beforehand...
