I wore this dress to a summer wedding and it was perfect! The color is a fantastic deep royal blue that was really flattering. The waistline and the side ruffle are also flattering and the top ruffle wasn't too much either. I tried both the 8 and the 10 and thought the fit of the 10 was slightly better so went with that. I would agree with the other reviewers who recommend going up a size. My only tweak / complaint was that the straps were about an inch too long. When I first tried on the dress, the front hung very low and the straps didn't want to stay in place. They also looked like they'd been stretched and bent a bit out of shape from prior use. With the help of some safety pins and fashion tape, I shortened the straps so that the dress stayed up a bit better. Even then, the straps tended to slip down all night. I am no designer, but it seems that straps made from something stretchy or with something adjustable would've been better. Overall, I loved the dress and would recommend it.
