Great Print!
Went with the four instead of six and was fine but couldn't fit a bra underneath

Beautiful dress to go from a daytime church ceremony to a black tie optional reception.
Note, this dress does require an adhesive backless bra due to the side cutouts (or probably could go sans bra, if you are on the chestier side, since the top ran slightly big). I ultimately didn't wear since my tiny weeny baby bump showed, but a great option for girls with a flatter tummy!

Didn't wear.
Nice, well-fitting dress, but went for a more formal option.

Perfect dress for black tie wedding reception
This was very elegant and comfortable, and mostly hid my three month baby bump! It did run on the shorter side so I was able to wear 1 1/2 inch heels and call it a day.

I wore this for a daytime wedding ceremony at a church, and besides the weird sizing, it was great.
Super cute dress, though it ran really big (I could have easily worn the small), except the accompanying slip was TINY - barely fit. I think you could probably size down and wear with your own slip or with longer Spanx (it wasn't see-thru, just had some static cling otherwise to your legs).

Perfect dress for NYE!
I went with the size 8 thinking that I could use the extra room during our NYE eight course tasting menu...but it would have been much more flattering in the size 6. Sequins do cut a little under the arms, which may not have happened if it had been a little more fitted.

Comfortable, flattering dress for dinner and dancing.
Flattering dress, though I'm usually a four or a six, and probably could have worn a two!

Wore this out in Vegas for my birthday, and it was the perfect party dress!
Tight across the bust (and that's saying something with my build!), so I sized up. Other than that, it was super flattering, and such a fun dress (loved the fit and flare skirt!).
