First things first: you'll notice I usually wear 0 but wore a 4 here and marked it as true to size. I rented this dress over 2 years ago when I was a 2-4 and have since lost ~10 pounds. I received both the 2 and 4: the 2 fit well except for the boning within the bodice was a bit snug and I worried it would be uncomfortable by the end of the wedding evening. I did want to eat and move around, after all! The 4 was certainly more spacious without being baggy and didn't leave me with the uncomfortable feeling of a wire poking into my tummy. The pleats on this dress were a lot of fun - the ones on the bodice got a bit scrunched so don't look quite as crisp as they did in the model's photo, but I think the overall fit was still flattering. Loved the color and the fullness of the skirt; if you're pear-shaped at all (I'm not) this is probably ideal.
