I rented this dress for my senior sorority formal, and although I loved how I looked I couldn't wait to change out of it! PROS: The dress was extremely flattering on my body, and photographed BEAUTIFULLY. I have yet to find a picture of this dress didn't it look fabulous in, and I was overrun with compliments all night. Everyone said I looked like a mermaid! I also found the dress easy to dance in, and the fabric had a little more give to it than the description implies. I am 5'9" and wore 4" heels and the length could not have been any more perfect - I wasn't tripping over the front yet my feet didn't show in pictures. CONS: Because the fabric is quite heavy, even with fashion tape I was pulling it up all night! If you are small chested, be prepared because I barely filled out the top. Also, I would also include a picture of my arms but it's a little too grotesque - my skin was destroyed by the sequins, scratches everywhere. Also be prepared with the correct undergarments for underneath this dress, even with the sequins it may show some lines. The train was also longer than I thought and it got stepped on quite a bit (which didn't combine well with it wanted to fall down). The final problem was that I was constantly fighting to hide the hanger straps all night - they kept poking out behind the mesh panel (I should have used even more fashion tape!). OVERALL: Worth it for how great you will look, both in person and it photos, but be prepared to wear one of the most uncomfortable dresses of your life.
