The top on this is a mess-unwearable
It's a shame-as other reviewers said this dress is nice and long (I"m 5'11' and the R reached my toes and then some before heels), and has beautiful bright colors and skirt. I was excited to wear this to a spring wedding but the top is basically an A cup sewn into the dress, no matter the size. It left the dress hanging from the broadest part of your chest, and the bottom of the cup mid-breast. Didn't wear it.

Great dress and color, but I'd you're over 5'8" watch out for the slit!

So pretty for an outdoor spring wedding.
This dress fit just as described-boning held me up even with a ton of dancing (did poke fairly frequently however) and the skirt was so pretty to move in. I'm 5'11" and the long skimmed the ground in flats.

Comfortable, elegant and won't fall down!
This dress was sent as a back up that I ended up not wearing to a less formal outdoor wedding, but I wish I did have an occasion and plan to rent when I do! The bodice has good structure and I felt very secure in the strapless style. The chiffon fell beautifully, with the L just covering the tops of my feet (I'm 5.10). Can't wait to wear this again!

Unique, comfortable dress, perfect for a summer wedding.
I was really excited to get this dress for a close friends wedding because of it's great reviews and colorful fabric, and it didn't disappoint, even when my usual size wasn't available! I received compliments all night and felt fabulous dancing with the twirly skirt. It's LONG (I'm 5.10 and it reached the floor even in four inch heels), so be prepared! As said with the other reviews, the top is quite stretchy (no boning) and required pinning to my bra and fashion tape to stay up. This all might have been helped if the smaller size was available that weekend. Overall LOVED and wish I could keep it!

Great for a bachelorette
This dress was perfect for a big night out without upstaging the bride. The midsection and legs were stretchy, and long enough even on my tall frame (5'10" landed two inches above the knee). The dress is VERY low cut and cut snugly around the ribs and back straps which holds you in without a bra, but might pose an issue for wide shouldered gals. Overall happy with the dress :).

PERFECT
Great to show off my shoulders at a black tie affair where I wanted to cover up my chest. I'm 5 11 and the long was perfect in 3 inch heels. Fabric has a little give but not stretchy, perfect for dancing and eating.

Beautiful detail and flattering, comfy fit, would rent again!
This was a new dress with no prior reviews, so I gambled by renting it for my holiday formal. I was so, so happy when it came in just the right length, and the beautiful gold detailing was cut in just the right way to flatter an hourglass figure. The fabric was high-quality but still had a little give, so it skimmed my curves, gave support where needed, and I could still dance! I will say that this dress was slightly wide-cut at the hips (which worked for me) but those with a straighter figure might want to order a smaller size. The neckline was flattering but not overwhelmly low (I wore a pushup) and I loved the thick strap that showed off my arms but didn't cut into my shoulders. Perfect for the holidays or a night out!
