Slightly tight
Maybe I should have sized up. It was a bit snug around the mid-section and pulled horizontally across the chest. I have the same dress in another color, and I think it's a Medium, which fits great.

Top is a little looser than the mid-section
I love Yumi Kim in general. The cut is flattering and hides the belly area, but the top half does hang a little loose. I guess my torso is slightly shorter. I could have taken 1/2" off the straps, and it would have been perfect.

Too small, didn't wear
Really great cut, but this brand tends to be so small. I wasn't able to wear it. Definitely size up.

Loose on top
It's a great fit, *except* that the top was just slightly loose for me. I didn't want to be pulling at it the whole night, so I did not wear it.

Back-up Dress to the Rescue!
The dress I had originally rented had some issue, so RTR sent this back-up for free. It turned out to be a winner, and I had never even considered it when browsing the site. It looks much better in person than online, and the key was the adjustable straps. I could adjust the straps to exactly the length I needed. I'm 5'4", and with 3" heels, the MR dragged ever so slightly on the floor. Not enough to trip though.

Loose in the bust
The hip and waist all seemed to be fine, but the bust was somewhat loose. I used fashion tape to hold it to my body, and wore a blazer on top to hide the fact that it was too large. Other than that, beautiful fabric. The color is more grey than silver.

A Villainous Entrance
This dress oozed "villain" to me, especially with the bedazzled neckline area evocative of Ursula's tentacles or Snow White's Evil Queen collar. It was sleek, sophisticated, fit perfectly, and thank goodness for the petite size to have it run the right length with my 3" heels. I didn't need to worry about tripping all night. Since it is relatively unforgiving in the hip/stomach area, I did have to wear spanx underneath. But the fabric is stretchy, and I felt comfortable enough to sit or dance.

Perfect fit for spring wedding
This dress was pretty much a perfect fit, after I fixed the top with fashion tape. I'm 5'4", so the regular length of this dress was a little long. But other than that, it was incredibly flattering, especially because the big skirt hides any lower stomach or hip areas.

Perfect!
Wore this at the Oscars. The fabric draped so nicely, and the 4R fit snuggly at the waist, even though I'm usually a 6. It was the absolute perfect shade to walk a red carpet.

Torso too long
I wasn't able to wear this at all. I'm 5'4", and my waist is about 30". Size 6R was correct for my waist, but the straps were completely loose and falling off. I would have needed 2 inches taken off the straps in order for this to fit properly. I don't normally have issues with torso length on other dresses, so this was a surprise. While the sizing chart doesn't necessarily say that 5'4" women should get a petite size, I wonder if that would have helped. The petite option wasn't available for rent when I needed it.
