First off, the dress was too long. I'm 5'9" and had on 3.5" heels and it dragged on the floor. It wasn't tripping-long, so I was still able to wear it, but it was noticeable. Second issue was that although the dress fit fine overall, there were serious issues with the zipper bunching in the middle part of the back. This might be because it is a rental and the zipper is weakening, but it bunched up repeatedly throughout the night and looked like i had a big lump of who-knows-what shoved in my dress. The bridal party ended up helping me belt it in the bathroom with a shawl. That said, i did get a bunch of compliments throughout the night. So, I'd say the dress was not a total "win," but definitely not a "lose" either.

Wore this to a black-tie themed NYE party, and got rave compliments all night long. I usually wear a 4, but this fit me perfectly in a 2. The 4 was waaaay too big. The dress was very comfortable, very sexy, and easy to dance in all night long. I'd rent this dress again in a heartbeat for any party that has a bit of glitz/glam/oomph.
