I was initially worried about the fit, as I originally thought 6R would be the perfect fit, but only 8R and 4R were available at the time I ordered. Then, a few days before the event, I received an email that the 8R was no longer available due to damage by the previous renter (RTR had AMAZING customer service though - they allowed me to choose another dress up to 2X the rental value and they shipped it within 24 hours, in addition to the 4R size of this dress)! Luckily, the 4R size of this dress fit perfectly!! I am 5'5" and I wore 4.25" shoes, and the R length was absolutely perfect. The dress just floated on the dance floor and I spent the entire night dancing (I would say to be careful during the electric slide, haha - you may want to lift the skirt to make sure you don't trip). And the pockets were PERFECT - they fit my huge iPhone 6 with an OtterBox, and I loved being able to bring my phone to the dance floor. I am about 150 lbs., but I am very pear-shaped, so the thin top half and full/flowy skirt was perfect for my body shape. However, the top and waist of the dress have very little give, so I would definitely recommend ordering the size that would best fit your top half. With the mesh back, I just ended up wearing a nude bra, and I didn't find any problems with that because you could hardly tell. My only (very minimal!) complaint was that the fullness of the skirt made it a little difficult to maneuver sitting down and standing up at the dinner table, and because I was attending a military ball, there were a lot of moments when I had to stand/sit quickly, which made maneuvering the dress a little annoying. But overall, I received so many compliments and I felt so beautiful both at the dinner and the dancing, and I will DEFINITELY be ordering this dress again for events in the future!
