Beautiful dress - I loved wearing it and got several compliments. Good length for shorter people. As other reviewers said, Hollywood Tape and an extra set of hands is a must. The backless bra I wore helped "fill in the gaps," so to speak. The embroidered waist is pretty tight, but a size 4 would have been too big everywhere else. The pleats on the skirt part are forgiving. This was my first rental - everything was so easy, I'm sure it won't be my last!
