I found the dress to be very true to the reviews I had read in that I felt it was true-to-size but perhaps slightly large in the bust area. I'm a 38D and wore a very...accentuating...strapless bra and still had to shimmy the dress up every now and then. I highly recommend investing in a low-back or black strapless bra, as it most likely will peek through the mesh areas just a bit. I preferred the length of the dress as it pooled just slightly at the floor, but to be fair, I was wearing flats. I'm just not a fan of showing a lot of ankle and/or shoe when standing still. The dress is a bit heavier than most other formal gowns I've worn due to the sequins, but I didn't find it to be burdensome. Overall, it was extremely comfortable sitting, standing and dancing. A gorgeous mermaid-esque effect that I loved!

I was pleased (and quite surprised) at the level of comfort afforded, given that this style typically affords too much tightness in the hips and upper thighs. I hope this one eventually makes it to the clearance sale, as I'd love to own it.
