The size 2 worked great for me: 130lb, 5’6 and athletic build. I rented this dress for a formal military ball. As a nursing mom, I wanted something that I could wear a real bra with and not worry about the straps showing or being uncomfortable. This was perfect. The dress was very comfortable to wear even with the top being form fitting. But, YES, the zipper is very tricky! I rented both a size 4 (size 4 fit great but the 2 fit me more snug up top which I like but I could have worn either one) and a size 2. With both dresses the zipper was VERY hard to zip up or back down. So, it doesn’t matter if the top is very snug or not- it’s just how the zipper is constructed. I was prepared for the zipper issue as I read previous reviews so I made sure to play around with it as soon as I received my dress and not wait until the day of. There’s definitely tricks to finding how to zip it up best so plan ahead is my best advice!! I did not experience issues with the belt like I read in some reviews. It does move a bit but it doesn’t seem to change the look of the dress when it shifted.
