I ordered a 2 and a backup in a 4 in this dress because of the previous reviews saying it runs small. I can range anywhere from a 00-2 depending on the material, designer and cut. I'm often a 0 and you could say I'm pear/athletic/petite/hourglass (34-24-36 for reference for other ladies out there like me) so my booty can be a big problem for fit. If I had tried to go with a zero I doubt I could've shimmied my tush into the thing. The 4 and 2 both fit and I almost wore the 4 because I was worried the 2 might be too tight, and I was really aware of my curves and was worried it'd be too 'vavavoom' for a wedding. But as I walked around getting ready to leave, I could feel it riding up and the boobs were bunchy so I switched to the 2 even though I was a bit self conscious of the tightness around the booty. One could say I was 'feelin myself' and not even thinking about that within minutes. The material is thick but flattering, the cut is stunning for any body type and as a petite lady, the length was just right for added modesty given the slim fit. I adored the color, like an emerald-cerulean love child. I would buy the damn thing in a heartbeat. If you're worried about tightness, it does stretch slightly to your body a little as you wear it. Note the pics were from after the wedding, so it "wore" well for 7hrs of wear.

Once my everyday bag started to fray and the seams popped (yay vintage) I knew it was time for a new one. This bag is beautiful. Super functional and structured in a classic but still modern/trendy way. Big enough for everything but it won't go into the great abyss. The quality of the leather is superb and much higher than that of a typical Kate Spade bag. And for people who dislike labels plastered everywhere in a gaudy manner, it is completely discrete, which is right up my alley!

I know the brand and know my sizing on average, but was still a bit worried the 'red' would be too orangey or the straps would be funky. Well the first half I was completely wrong, it's a beautiful vivid true red. The top straps were a bit funky but I was able to adjust them so the 'extra' material was in the back. My body shape is a hybrid athletic/petite/pear and this dress still fit well, tight in the top from the boning and flattering flowy on the bottom to compensate for my derriere (which can be a problem for fit due to my sizing being disproportionate). Definitely suggest to anyone needing a good safe go-to dress. Personally, being as petite as I am, I found the width of the straps to be slightly too large for this dress to be a five starrer, but I'm picky.
