I am about 5’10” and 160 pounds and I ordered the 8 and the 10. I went with the size 8 I had to wear a very low heel because I like for dresses to hit the floor. It hit the floor with a very low heel. 

I’m 55 years old, 5’4 and 155 with bust 36C.  This dress was perfect.   Stylish and age appropriate. Forgiving of a less than perfect body that has birthed a few babies.   The neckline was comfortable.  No tugging or readjusting needed.  Didn’t wear a bra and that was fine.   The length would have skimmed the floor but it was very easy with Hollywood temporary tape to hem up the bottom layer so that I didn’t need to worry about tripping all evening.  Would definitely rent again!!!

A couple things to keep in mind with this dress
1. I am 5’9 and it hits the ground for me when I have no heels on
2. The collar around the neck is elastic. So it does have some stretch to it which was really comfortable.
3. The back is very low. I was not able to wear a strapless bra. I chose to go no bra and it worked out. The material is very good and no one could tell.

It was really cute. It was easy to wear. I was also very comfortable in it 

It was perfect!! Even more lux looking in person and pretty comfortable. Yes from me! I am always between a 4 and 6 and this one the 6 was more comfortable though the 4 fit the chest better. I went with the 6 and no regrets.

Wore this to a formal summer wedding and got lots of compliments. The embroidery is beautiful in person and the fabric has just a tiny bit of stretch so it wasn’t too tight. The neck strap is elastic and very comfortable. I’m 5’4” and wore ~3.5” heels and the dress skimmed the ground perfectly. Absolutely recommend!

I loved the silhouette of this dress, and the embroidery looks even better in person! My dress size is typically 8-10, and I probably would have preferred an 8, but the 10 was fine. I have a smaller chest, so the top was a little loose but the halter neckline kept it in place well enough. I'm 5'11" and wore 2 inch heels, and the length was about an inch or so above the floor.

I loooved this gown! It was perfect for a black tie wedding - it was beautiful, flattering, and really comfortable all night. I wore it with ~4 inch heels and the length of the hem was perfect. I did have to size up because my usual size wasn't available - I think a 10 might've been better for my body, but the 12 was still a pretty good fit. Even taking that into account though, it does run a bit large in the bust, but with some fashion tape and boob tape it was fine! Definitely recommend this dress!!

I wore this dress for 6+ hours for a wedding and by then end my neck was hurting from holding everything up so keep in mind if you’re going to be dancing in this all night. Other than that it was stunning and fit perfect. Top was just a little big.

As others have said, photos do not do the embroidery justice. It is so, so pretty. I wore this dress to a Vegas wedding and it made me feel so confident, even as heads in the casino turned to look. It shows off curves in all the right places and camoufages spots I don't want seen. It shows off the cleavage without me having to worry about a wardrobe malfunction, and is just really comfortable. It was a hair long for me, as expected from other reviews. I wore about 3 in heels and, while no one could see my shoes, it was the perfect length for the style of the dress. 
Also, I have lost about 30 lbs in the last 6 months. I don't know what my primary size would be now. I tried the 4 and the 6 after scouring the reviews. The 6 was perfect and the 4 was unattainable for me to wear. Hope this helps!

Wore a strapless bra and worked well. I’m 5’6” typically size 6US , wore size 6 dress with 2in heels and everything was perfect, not too tight or loose not too long or short. I am on the busty side so maybe fit would be different for smaller busts. Has a subtle sparkle that I loved. 

Dress fit  perfectly and was very flattering.  The top had structure built in and did not require and bra or shapewear so it was very comfortable and forgiving.  I got so many compliments and would definitely recommend this dress.  

Incredible embroidery, fits just right, hides belly, gives you an incredible silouette, the fabric quality is incredible… rent it!

Fit like a dream, strap that goes around neck is very stretchy, wore 3 inch heels and the dress hit just at my toes ( 5’5”) , so many compliments, wore just a strapless bra

I think a 0 would have fit me better, but only the 2 was available and it still looked beautiful! I wore it to a white tie ball. The tiers look especially cool when dancing / spinning. Waist and chest area had some extra room. This is a long dress! Maybe it sat lower due to being a little loose but I am 5’8” wore 3” heels and was just barely able to dance without tripping on it. 

Favorite dress I’ve ever worn in my life! So flattering, beautifully designed, gorgeous colors and embroidery. The length was perfect with 2+ inch heels. The waist is very forgiving with a slight stretch and would handle my bloat but the bodice also kept the dress up. The neck is a velvet elastic so holds it up but versatile for different bodies/busts. I’m usually between 6/8 but this one definitely was roomier and I wore a 6. I carry weight in my stomach and have long legs and this was so perfect and flattering I will be renting again. Don’t hesitate because this dress is stunning! 

I loved this dress! It was a bit big around my chest so I would size down if you’re not as blessed in that department 

I wore a size 4 and I’m often a 6. Beautiful dress. Gorgeous stitching. Classy and comfortable. 

Slightly big in bust area and length but otherwise this dress fit amazing! Very flattering cut and perfect for wedding in fall or winter! Loved so much I wore to two weddings, got many compliments

I love this dress, but it runs a little big in the chest. I had to use tape to fix it and looked good, but next time I would choose a smaller size. 

Wore to a wedding and it’s the perfect design for an end of summer/start of fall event. The detail is so pretty, excellent quality and the length was perfect. Def recommend!
