This dress is amazing! It was an inch longer than I wish it was (that was with heels on) but I'm also only 5'5". It wouldn't have mattered if the grass at the event I was at hadn't been wet. It hugged in the right places and would've worked without spanx just fine. I didn't wear a bra and didn't have an issue. Didn't feel pull while sitting. Got lots of compliments !

I'm usually a size 12 in jeans (and never wear dresses other than casual ones in a size L, so I had no idea what my dress size would be), I carry my weight in my belly but my butt takes up substantial room too, and I have 38C boobs. I wanted to play it safe after reading some reviews about the way this Material behaves. I ordered this dress in a 14 and wore spanx that help smooth out belly and thighs. The material hugs perfectly snug and has a great thickness to it without being hot (I run super hot). It had plenty enough room to breathe but not baggy. I felt great in it, the red color is beautiful against my natural light skin as well as against a spray tan! I got complimented on the dress frequently throughout the night. I was regretting wearing this to the rehearsal instead of the actual wedding ceremony because I loved it so much, UNTIL I went to get in the car and the slit in the back of the dress made that dreaded ripping sound!!! Agh! I guess my butt popped a few stitches in the back slit! Sad! This was pretty disappointing because it made the slit not lay flat in the back for the rest of the night. I spent a lot of time feeling self conscious about it. So! just move deliberately and cautiously in this dress! Lol. I would rent again definitely!
