Dresses usually run a bit large on me, so I wasn't surprised when I got this dress that it was a little big. All I did was pin it back a little in the back so that there wasn't as much fabric and it looked perfect. It would have been great if this dress had come just one size smaller, but after I pinned it the dress looked great! I rented this for prom and in all of the pictures we took you couldn't even tell that I had pinned it.The dress is a lot brighter in person than it is in the photo. I got many compliments on it! It is a very simple, yet elegant dress. I would also recommened getting double sided tape. Because the dress was a little big on me, the top was loose and the tape definitley helped keep it in place! Overall, I would definitley recommend this dress, it is very beautiful and comfortable! (I also rented the Ciner Antique Crystal Fab Drop Earrings and they were perfect! Beautiful and lightweight, i DEFINITLEY recommend them!)
