Definitely go a size up like others say. This dress is perfect for hourglass/athletic shape. The cut around the neck didn't make my arms look giant. The fabric was perfect weight and comfortable. I had to do a lot of running around in this dress, and I had no issue there either.

This dress was made for small rib cage area and large breasts. The zipper on the 4 was very tricky to zip up, but I still had to pin the boob area together (I'm a 36B). Length was perfect for 5'3" with wedges. My favorite part about this dress was how photogenic it is in outdoor setting.

Runs small in the bust and large in the skirt. Not super flattering for an athletic body type because it isn't snug/loose in the right places
