This dress was great for a formal wedding. As others mentioned, the front goes up a little bit more than normal but that's great because you don't need to wear a bra but are also not popping out of it. I debated sizing up but this was a swap for the dress I originally ordered and they only had a 10 left. It fit perfectly, I would not have wanted to size up. It's tighter through the hips, but not so tight you can't sit down. As others also noted, there is space in the bust (?) but it's not noticeable and ended up being just fine. 

I thought I ordered a 4R and a 6R, I may have messed up. My hourglass teen has the measurements 34-27-40 and we had to get a little creative with dress-tape and two strategic pins to make the dress stay up on her back, where it was a little too spacious. 

She wore this with pink earrings from Rent the runway and her own pink 3-inch block heel sandals, so she was comfortable and not tripping over the dress. The dress was beautiful, the colors and embroidery are so lovely and she received many compliments. She loved is so much she'd consider buying it in the smaller size.

PLEASE NOTE: She weighs around 125 lbs, is 5.4 tall, has 34DD in bra size, and is usually a size 4. The other measurements shown here are mine.

The dress was as beautiful as it looks on the photos. I was excited to get it but kind of worried it be tight. I sized up, it was snug in the boob area but worked with my wide shoulders. It was so lightweight and yet I felt comfortable it wouldn’t come down. It’s the perfect dress for a black tie event. Everyone and their mother loved it. It’s iconic, gorgeous, form fitting, romantic. 

Wore this to an arts-themed gala for Arts Month and received many compliments! The top is a bit loose if you are small chested but the boning kept the dress up. Fit was nice in the waist, length was a tad bit long with 4” heels but still comfortable. The smallest size I saw was a 6, so that might be why it was a bit larger on me. 

FYI: There are two small loops on the front that stick up (it’s to hold the dress up on the hanger when the ribbon is looped through) so I had to tape those down, otherwise it was gorgeous!
