I rented this for my sorority formal and got so many compliments on it. The 8R was the perfect size and length (I wore it with flat sandals). The fabric was super light and flowy, which was perfect because it was a little hot outside and we had a swing dancing band at the event, so it was super easy to move around in. The wiring of the built-in corset part kind of sucks/stuck into my sides at times, but overall not bad. The zipper was a little finnicky too, but nothing too annoying.
