Not right kind of dress for pear shape
I sized up significantly given other reviews, but based on the 18 being too small and the 20 being too large up top (but still tight/short in the bottom half) it just is not a fit for my body in any size. It is not A line at all, it fits more like a pencil skirt (attached to a top).

Very pretty but hangs VERY long
I assumed this would be more adjustable to a normal height, but even at the shortest latch, it still hung down between my boobs so it would need a very deep v dress to be seen. Couldn't wear it, so I basically wasted the money.

Dress a gorgeous color but unflattering fit if your boobs are smaller in proportion
I should have known from the reviews, but the bra/bust area didn't fit well, didn't give enough cleavage, and really flattened me out on top while making my hips look massive under the fabric. I think the body type this looks great on is someone with a larger shapelier bust (i'm a 38c and i felt flat and shapeness in it), not a pear. It did hide my stomach well but in a tent-like way.
