I am curvier so I think you should size up if hippier. I went with 6L Bc I didn't order 8L but 8 would've been better. The material is thicker so no light jacket was needed for the evening breeze. The stretch allowed me to eat and dance without feeling stuffed in a dress. I really loved the slit in the one shoulder. It's very flirty. I kept my look simple. I wore earrings, gold bangle, gold clutch, black/gold heels, sleek hair, ring, and glam neutral makeup. My measurements 36 top, 27 mid, 40 hip. My husband loved me in the dress and I received many compliments!

Gorgeous dress! I felt so beautiful for the NYE gala I attended. I received numerous compliments from men and women. No haters this way! The dress top was different that what I expected. I guess I had glitz in mind like jewels when I ordered but that was my fault in not paying attention. The fit was great! Good thing too because my second size did not get sent to me. I was really happy the 4L fit so well. I will say during the night that it started to feel really tight after I ate- lol... If this happens to you just stop eating! If you don't, you will walk around feeling like you squeezed into a dress. My only disappointment was that I spent soooooooo much time steaming this gown and it was STILL winkled! That's ok, I just stayed on the dance floor. Back to a positive note- This dress moves great when dancing and the pockets were super cool! I def recommend this dress to all. Oh and did I mention it photographs beautifully?!?!? Check the pictures! Love ya!!!
