I had really high hopes for this dress, especially as a 34D cup, because of all of the women who reviewed saying the dress ran big in the chest. I did find the chest was very comfortable on the 4, and a little loose on the 6. Even though the 4 was very tight on my waist, I wore that one instead because the 6 fit like a tent in the chest (not something I've ever experienced in a dress, due to my chest!!). My biggest gripe though was that the metal boning on the sides that is supposed to give the dress some structure (since there's no back to keep the silhouette flattering, were completely worn out. The boning sagged right under my breasts, around my waist area and made it look like I was bulging out the sides, when viewed from the front. My boyfriend assured me it looked fine, but I was still uncomfortable, which was unfortunate. The only other thing that bothered me was that the straps didn't fall how it looked in the pictures, which might've antagonized the "dropping" of the boning, since the straps attached there as well. I ended up pinning the straps where they were supposed to cross over each other, and that helped both issues, a little bit. The boning still sagged somewhat though, even with that fix. All that said, after wearing the dress two nights, one night to help host a trivia game, and once t the wedding reception I originally rented it for, all of the lovely comments would be enough to make me rent this dress again.
