I would have given this dress 5 stars, but the 4R was too short. I don't think the long would have even been long enough for my 2.5" heels. I must have misread other reviews, because I was given the impression that regular would be better than long for someone that is 5'7". I usually wear a 6 and the 4 fit beautifully, so it does run large. I LOVED the slit - I felt so feminine and sexy. When I sat, I did have to be careful with placing the fabric over my lap so my the upper part of my legs didn't get exposed, but I never felt like I was showing too much. I received lots of compliments. RTR did not disappoint!
