I usually wear a size 8, but ended up wearing a size 6. I am almost 6 feet tall, so the length was great for me, hitting a couple inches above my knee. The lining around the bust showed and was still a problem, even though it did come with fashion tape which was greatly appreciated. The zipper was also hard to use and got stuck multiple times. Even though there were some issues with the dress, I still loved wearing it and would wear it again.
