This dress is simply stunning! I rented it and another dress, but I ended up going with the other dress. I did, at least, try this dress on, as you see in the picture (please excuse my lack of make-up). At 5'9" with 3" heels, the 6L was perfect. I didn't even feel like I would need double-sided tape, as the front doesn't "gap" open if you have good posture... I found that when I slouched, the girls tended to show more than I'd like, but if I stood up straight, all was good!

I'm 5'9" and the L length was perfect with 3" heels! The dress is very form fitting, but the ruching helps to hide any imperfections. I was torn between this dress and another I had rented, but because this dress showed my curves, my husband insisted I wear this one (and I'm glad it was his choice). It's a simple and elegant dress, but very sexy without being inappropriate for a very formal affair (like the Marine Corps Ball).

It is really, really, really short! I'm 5'9" and I realize that this dress is not recommended for ladies over 5'6" - but, since I was planning on wearing flats (super dressy metallic flip-flops to be exact) I figured that it would still be long enough. Nope, not even close - didn't even come close to my ankle (which is a length I would have been happy with). That being said, if you plan on wearing heels with this dress - don't rent it if you're over 5'3" - they only way it would be long enough for someone 5'6" is if that someone is planning to wear flats!
