I had read the reviews but was surprised by a few things when I received this dress.... (1) It is short in the front! I figured the model was tall (and I'm only 5'2") so it would fall just below my knees but it definitely did not, especially when you walk since it's basically a wrap dress on the bottom; (2) that wrap dress effect makes dancing very dangerous! for a dress that's supposed to be great for salsa, I couldn't spin or really get moving on the dance floor without feeling very exposed! my boyfriend is a great dancer and loves to do all sorts of fancy flips and "death drops", but in this dress we were really limited - on the first flip, the entire bottom of the dress opened up and my tush was exposed to the entire dance floor when I landed! I tried using fashion tape but it didn't help. (3) I don't know if it was the very bright color or the length - it's the mullet of dresses: short in front and longer in back than I anticipated - or all of the ruffles, but I felt like the dress was not quite as classy as I'd hoped, bordering on trashy. Again, it was a fun dress and I received compliments on it but I didn't feel great in it and was glad to return it.....

When I ordered the dress, I think the drop-down options were XS & S but P & S arrived. Regardless, the Petite size fit well. I expected to fill out the chest, as I have a C cup, but found the top to be a bit big. I think the straps are a little long for someone of my height/size. As promised, it was tight in the hips but not too much to be comfortable or attractive. It hit just above my knee, not as short as shown on the model. The most annoying issue was the lining sticking out above the lace in the back. It would have taken needle & thread or maybe strong fashion tape to fix that. Overall, I was pleased and received compliments both at the wedding and after, on photos.
