Usually I wear a 6, but given how stretchy this dress is, I wore a 4. Even the 4 had a little gathered fabric in it at places, so I actually wished I had ordered a size 2 and 4, instead of a size 4 and 6, just to see if running even one size lower would have made the dress look as smooth as it did on the model. Maybe my body type had something to do with it? Idk. But it may have also been because the dress rode up a little bit from moving - I should have put some fashion tape down there to help things out. Another thing to be cautious about - I tried all kinds of underwear with this dress and even my tiniest items showed lines through the dress. I didn't wear any spanx, so maybe that would have helped. On the upside, I did not have ANY issues with the arm holes, like other reviewers did. I wore my regular strapless bra and had absolutely no problem. I also took other reviewers' advice and preemptively lined the folded down shoulder area with fashion tape, and had no problem at any point in the night with it flipping up. Overall, SO happy I got this dress!
