The dress is gorgeous. I'm 5'3" without heels, a 36C, and with hips and a belly (ugh.) and I rented the 6P and 8P. I ended up being able to fit perfectly in the 6P and wore 4 inch heels. The dress just barely brushed against the floor which is exactly how I wanted it to be so I wouldn't worry about tripping. I wore a full strapless bra to give my bust some oomph and it looked better than without (thus, I rated the dress as running large.) The internal bustier threw me off b/c the sewn in boning was a challenge. I felt like it added extra lumps to the bust of the dress, but it wasn't noticeable - I just felt like it fit awkward because of this. Overall, I was pleased with my rental. I got so many compliments.

great fit and very forgiving. i'm 5'3", 135 lbs, and a 36C. the size 6 fit wonderfully. it's very mad men-esque. the dress just about hit the top of my knees, and showed just enough cleavage for it to be sexy, but still very appropriate for a wedding rehearsal dinner for all ages. i wish i owned this dress.
