I rented this dress for a New Year's party and in a room full of sequined dresses, it stood out!! I am short, so the length worked for me and I wore black stockings and shoes to elongate the look. The fabric did catch from time to time, so that was a bit of a worry, but not enough to dim the joy of wearing this glam dress. I rented a 2 & 4, the 2 fit perfectly! The only disappointment was that in a dim party atmosphere, the cool purple/leopard coloring was not very distinguishable. Al in all a mega hit!!
