I was a size 4 when I rented this size 8 and it was still super tight. It was comfortable standing but wasn't so good to sit in. But beauty is painful. It's the best dress I have rented so far. 

This dress truly is beautiful. The fabric and color are lovely and the detailing at the bust is beautiful. However I thought it might be a little too traditional for a fun wedding in Barbados so I didn't end up wearing it. I'm usually a 6 but know that most reem acra dresses run very small, so I tried the 8. Even though the dress fit around my rib cage and chest (I could close the hook and eye closure and could pull the fabric together), I could not for the life of me get the zipper to budge past the seam at the waist.  Even when I took the dress off and tried to zip it up, I still majorly struggled with the zipper. Might be easier if you have an extra pair of helping hands.

This dress was a perfect choice for the 142nd Kentucky Derby! When the dress arrived, the fabric on the bottom was a bit wrinkled so I immediately hung the dress in hopes that the wrinkles would "fall" out. While they did straighten out a little, I was still concerned that they would be noticeable. I wore it to Millionaires Row at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby and not a wrinkle was there (or it couldn't be noticed). What I was most concerned about did not take away from the dress one bit! Because I am much shorter than the model, the dress was tea length on me, which I loved! I am so glad that I read the reviews, which helped me to decide on the 10 (I normally wear a 4/6) for this dress. It was so very comfortable and fit just right around the chest area...reminded me of the fit of my wedding dress! A must rent!

Received this dress as a backup for my original dress that was damaged. It is absolutely stunning, more conservative length-wise but still a beauty. The quality was top notch and because of the price point (I'm guessing) there were minimal signs of wear. Sadly, the bust ran small, as you can tell from me holding it closed in the pic. I couldn't get this to zip at all and believe me I tried. With that said, I am a solid D cup so that may play into the issue but  I fit into most 6s and even 4s when it comes to the bust, so I think this does runs small.  If you don't have a smaller bust, I wouldn't definitely size up. 

Top was VERY tight.  The zipper had a difficult time a the transition between the corset like top and the fluffy bottom of the dress.  I wore gold jewelry and FUN heels with the same pink.  I originally ordered a pink "Hi-Low"dress but it couldn't be shipped so they sent this one to me instead. I usually wear a 6 so I was surprised when they sent me an 8 and a 10.  They knew what they were doing because the 10 was still very tight up top. Very pretty. Tons of compliments.
