Great color but super short even on 5'5"
Wore this for a casual rehearsal dinner/indoor bbq. Loved the color and the fit was good -- chest was a little tight and the midsection was a little roomy, but it was flattering -- but it was pretty impossible to sit on a stool with this dress. I practiced sitting in it in my hotel room and my boyfriend suggested just not sitting down at all because it got so short! Color was amazing though and I was super happy with it while standing up :) the other reviews about it being warm are totally correct though - definitely don't wear this dress in the sun or you'll melt.

Perfect for a black tie optional wedding
I'm 5'5" and a 36D, and the 4R was just right. The 2R also zipped but it pushed my chest up just so much that it seemed a little bit much for a wedding with a ton of elderly grandparents - no need for that! I didn't need a bra thanks to the inside cups, and only needed to pull it up after dancing. I wished that I had gotten a necklace to go with, but the slate and willow Kensington drop earrings went really well with it.

Demure but not boring.
Loved the fit and color of this dress. Demure but not overly conservative, and it was super flattering -- and I usually have a hard time finding dresses that fit both a big chest and smaller bottom half. The zipper wouldn't stay up so I did use a safety pin to keep it together, but otherwise perfect. Would be ideal for a dressy brunch, shower, or daytime wedding.
