Runs very fit to your skin at least for me. The material is pretty thick so if you're running to meetings or dancing I would choose a larger size but it may not have the right look.

I wore this dress to an evening wedding in San Diego that was "black tie optional". With my height (and wearing heels), it came down to about upper-calf which made it feel formal enough without having a floor-length dress that I felt I was dragging around. I felt SO elegant in this dress and received compliments all evening long. The shape gave a lovely silhouette and the neckline provided tasteful cleavage. I will say that the waistline hem was kind of tight after I had eaten dinner. I suppose I could have worn Spanx. I wore these vibrant green earrings and I think it was the finishing touch on this lovely dress.

The dress I ordered was a 10 and backup an 8 because I recently lost 15 lbs. however, due to my curvy nature, the 10 fit better around my hips. Otherwise it looked amazing and the neckline is extremely flattering!!

This dress is the most perfect little black dress! It fits like a glove and stretches with your body, not too much, just a bit.

The fit is a little tight so dancing wasn't as easy, but it fit perfectly and accentuates the curves well. Perfect for a work event because if this classy but still sexy.

This dress is very flattering. It's perfect for hour glass figure. I'm a new mom and I felt great in this! I wore spanx to smooth everything out but it's not necessary. Highly recommend!!

the dress was wayy too tight around the butt/thighs so i decided on my 2nd choice - a more "breathable" piece

The dress fit's small around the rib/bust line area. I had a difficult time zipping it fully up. Once it was zipped the the bust was a bit to big for me. Ended up not wearing the dress, even if I sized up the bust would have been very big for me.

Too small

The trumpet bottom is really cute, but can be a bit tight and harder to dance in. The top was way too large, which is why I didn't end up wearing it (and I have a rather large bust).

Beautiful dress, but very uncomfortable. Was able to zip it up all the way but the hip area is very tight. I'm not sure if I would've been able to sit in it. Maybe a size or 2 up would've worked better but the fabric has zero stretch to it.

This dress runs two sizes small and has no give. If you have big hips and butt this is not the dress for you.

I rented this for a wedding and did not end up wearing the dress. The fit didn't compliment my figure.

I'm a 36B and the top was way too big, to the point I couldn't even try to make it work. About 3 inches of fabric extra on both sides. On the opposite side, the bottom was wayyy too tight!
