Very comfortable, looked great
I usually wear a 6 and this fit perfectly. The fabric is thick but not too stiff. It was very comfortable and I felt like I looked really nice. There is a large open slit in the front, but I wore a black tank top underneath and it looked good. I’m just over 5’-8” tall and wore the flattest of flats and it was just about the right length, bordering on slightly too long. A very small heel would have been perfect length.

Comfortable and classy
I thought this dress was very nice; super stretchy material so it was very comfy, and the ruching makes it so it's still form fitting while not being skin tight. I usually wear a size 6 and the 6 fit me well; the 4 was too small. The color is lovely; I wore this to a summer wedding rehearsal dinner. It did not need spanx (though you could wear them) and I was able to wear a regular bra (you probably could get away with no bra since the material isn't super thin, but I didn't want to chance nipples showing through). Can't believe I forgot to take a photo wearing it! :P

Great dress!
This dress was great! I usually wear a size 6 and the medium fit well. The size small was definitely too small. The leg slit is high--something other reviewers warned me about--but it did not bother me too much. The material is somewhat stretchy, so it was form fitting but still able to move and bend easily. The sequins are a tiny bit scratchy, but it did not really bother me while I wore it. Overall, I thought it looked great and was fun to wear. Note: if you sit in direct sunlight or under a lamp, you will reflect like a disco ball, which can be either awesome or kinda embarassing. :)

Good quality, nice fit, a little bit large arm holes
My event was actually cancelled last minute, so I ended up not wearing this dress out. But, to provide some feedback for others since I did try it on: the 6R fit me well, and I'm normally a 6. The fabric is not terribly forgiving, so if it's too small it will probably not be super comfortable. The length was surprisingly shorter than I expected, but worked well for me since I'm 5'-8.5" tall and prefer to wear flat shoes (sandals). The 6R was barely hitting the floor on me with no shoes on. The only other thing I noticed was the arm holes because they were a bit large. I think it looked fine, but I was considering if I may have needed to tape down the fabric on the side of my boob so that it didn't accidentally open up a little bit. Perhaps this was an issue with my bust measurement being smaller than the dress was intended for, but it amounted to the same thing. I was still going to wear the dress though, it wasn't a dealbreaker, just something to consider. Otherwise, it looked elegant, the material was high quality, and the fit was great.

Pretty color, nice cut, comfortable
I usually wear a 6, and this size 6R fit me like a glove. The band that goes just above the waist is not stretchy at all, and fit me exactly with no extra room to spare (whew!). It was not uncomfortable though. I am usually a 36B, but am breastfeeding so may be much larger now, and I had no problem fitting in the bust. Below the waist is flowing and loose, so there was no issue with tightness around the stomach or hips. For length, I always struggle because I do not wear heels. I am 5'-8.5" tall and wore the flattest flat sandals, and this dress hit just above the floor, which was perfect. If I had worn heels, even small ones, it would have been too short.

Great dress, very comfortable and elegant
The material is stretchy, but not thin, which is nice for comfort. The material was a tiny bit scratchy under the armpits, but overall it was super comfy and very nice looking. I really enjoyed wearing it and would rent it again!

Bigger than expected
The dress was very pretty and looked pretty good, but was larger than expected, especially in the top half. I typically wear a size 6, so I ordered a size 6 and backup size 8 since some of the reviews mentioned that the dress ran small. I'm not sure if a size 4 would have fit, but the 6 was definitely large.
