Gorgeous fabric! Lots of complements.
This dress is gorgeous in person! Although I am 5'7" the regular was long enough. It came down several inches below my feet in bare feet and was the perfect length with 2.5-3.5" heels. I usually wear a size 6 or 8 on top, and the 14R was a little too big around the waist, so I had some gaping issues in the back and sides when I moved my arms or slouched, but nothing inappropriate showed. The dress was perfect for my pear shaped body, with plenty of room in the hips. The flowing fabric of the skirt made me feel gorgeous! I also had problems with the hang loops peaking out in the back. I would suggest securing them in dress some how, perhaps by safety pinning them to each other in the front? I got a lot of complements on this dress--from all of the most stylish women in the room. I loved wearing it!

Gorgeous dress! Runs very large!
I usually wear a size 6 or 8 on top and a 10 or 12 on the bottom, and the 38L (size 4) was slightly too big for me. I think the size 36(2) would have been perfect. The long was about 1" too long for me when I was wearing 3.5" heels. The dress is very flattering, but not incredibly sexy, with very little skin on show. I had just the smallest glimpse of cleavage. I loved how comfortable this dress was, and how I could wear a regular bra with it. I think it would be perfect for a party where you wanted to eat and drink and dance the night away. No garment tape needed! I didn't end up wearing it because of the fit issues, but I would rent it again in the smaller size for a different event.

gorgeous color, didn't fit quite right
This dress was a gorgeous color, but the folds didn't drape naturally around my chest. Also it was quite clingy on the back-side. I don't like how my rear looks when the fabric is too clingy, so this wasn't the dress for me.
