Runs large
Not a bad dress, it runs large in my opinion. I have a large chest and I had sooo much excess material in the top half of the dress. The material is nice and thick, but size down for any structure at all.

Gorgeous, but size way up!
I SOO wanted to wear this dress! The dress is gorgeous, but you need to double size up IF you have wider hips. I think this dress would be perfect for someone who is pear shape but doesn’t have exaggerated hips/chest

This gown is SOOO SOFT
I didn’t get to wear this as it was just too big in the bodice, but the inside of this gown is softer than any dress I’ve ever worn! The thickness of the dress allows comfort without spanx, definitely low cut so keep that in mind. I think this dress runs one size large. Even with my DD chest, I could grab a handful of excess material in the back. I normally run between a 6-8 dress size, mainly because I have wider hips.

Beautiful dress
I did not wear because the size available did not fit (too big, too short) but I will say it shows MUCH more cleavage than I anticipated with my 32DD chest. I think if I had the 6R it would have fit perfectly. I run between a 6-8 in dresses.

Flattering formal dress!
After a bit of a fiasco with the size I needed having damage, and none of my back up's fit (which were shipped to me promptly!) I ended up wearing a size up and it worked out ok. I have a large chest but narrow shoulders so the top was a bit loose, but not enough for others to notice. The back of the dress was really the show stopper and is amazing! Bonus, you do not need any shapewear with this dress at ALL! If you're talker than 5'4" get a long length.

Stunning, but size way up
This was a back up that I did not wear, but I wanted to shed some light on fit. I LOVE this designer and wear the same size in all of her dresses and pant jumpers (38) except for this one! This was a 40 and it was TIGHT! It sucks everything in and the waist was tolerable tight, but since it's mermaid its almost impossible to walk. I would have needed a 42 at least! If you have small legs/butt you will probably have a little more walking room.

Silhouette magnifier!
I wore this to a work Christmas party and I got so many compliments! The outfit was super comfortable, form fitting and had pockets. I have a short torso and I had a little extra fabric if I wasn't standing perfectly straight, so when I rent it again I will size down. The length was long, but I used double sided tape and it worked perfectly. For size reference I wear a 4 in AE stretch jeggings and a 28 in SFAM jeans.

Body hugging & stunning!
This is my 3rd rental of this dress I love it so much! I wore the 38R which is equivalent of a 4. For reference I wear a 4 in American eagle jeggings, a 29 in most designer jeans like seven for all mankind & I have an hourglass shape. If you are taller than 5'4" you will want a long and not regular, as I had to wear 2.5-3 inch heels and it's JUST barely touched the ground.
