This dress is definitely more fitted across the top than the hips, so keep that in mind when ordering a size and a backup size. The 10 fit, but was just too tight across the shoulders to be comfortable, and the rest of the dress did not fit that differently between the 10 and 12. Overall the dress is very comfortable and has some give to it, especially for being lace. It's nicely lined, good length, hit about 3" above my knee and I am 5'6". It's very forgiving and flattering. I would wear this dress again, but of course I will want to try others!!

Size Worn: 12

I could have worn the 10 or 12 but decided on the 12 because the bottom of the skirt doesn't have any give to it. I would have been afraid to split it every time I sat down. It just made the dress a little more comfortable all night. The fabric and color are great! I received a compliment from someone I didn't know across the room and many more! About the only thing that would make this dress perfect is some pockets! I chose to put the belt on it, but it looked ok without it too. The dress is also a very nice length. I hit right about my knee which is perfect.

My size became unavailable so I tried the 8 that was available (I'm normally a 10) but it was way too tigt to even get on. The belt it what gives this dress some shape, but the top does not have any stretch, so you definitely need to order big enough for the top to fit properly. Overall I think this dress would be really cute and flattering for any event.

I actually decided on another dress to wear, but I did really like this dress and would rent it again. It hides curves well but the top still gives you some shape. The color was great too. I didn't find a difference between the size 10 and 12 but I am normally a 10 and that fit fine.

I wore this dress to my bridal shower. This dress had a very flattering fit. I didn't find much of a difference in the bottom between the 10 and 12, but the 10 fit me better up top. I got a lot of compliments on the dress! It was very comfortable, excellent material, great color. Highly recommend!
