I ordered the size 6L and the 8L. I went with the 6L, and may have been able to even drop a size. I got the 8L fearing that the dress would be tight on my hips/bum, but in fact it was far roomier than I had guessed. If you have a small waist and small bust then sizing down is the way to go. I didn't wear a bra, but instead wore petals. I would have liked to wear something more supportive. The length was fantastic and I wore a 3.5-4 inch heel. I am a true 5'10 in height. The dress was less than an inch off the ground with my heels, which is exactly as I wanted. The color is bright red poppy, with some orange tones, but definitely poppy. The fabric is great and not to revealing of flaws. The slit in the front comes up quit high when sitting. It required diligent monitoring during our meal. A Well placed purse and the correct choice in panty should alleviate any worry.

The dress is tight through hips, with a small amount of stretch. The bust was large on me, but not extremely noticeable. I had to keep tucking and shifting the top throughout the night. If I had a girlfriend to help with pins instead of my boyfriend, the problem could have been remedied. The dress is a gorgeous midnight satin black, with a slight pucker and very subtle train in the back. Detailing and beading is impeccable. I think I could have gotten away with wearing the 40L, but I was in a bit of a hurry to get out the door, and the zipper was ripped a bit at the bottom. I felt beautiful, and received a lot of compliments from people I didn't even know!!!
