They dress runs small in the arms. You should definitely size up if you have any muscle in your arms. And the dress runs pretty much normal size everywhere else. Another size up tip- I found the nature of the hidden zipper in the back to be difficult. If the zipper had any tension on the fabric around it, it wouldn't zip past the waist line. As in - the 6 fit me (aside from the arms being snug), there was enough fabric in the back to zip the dress, but it would not be zipped past that point. Since I wore it for engagement photos I was still able to make it work by not being photographed from the back. But honestly, just size up. Other than that, the dress photographed nicely.

They dress runs small. I'm normally a 6 but wore the 8. And probably could have actually worn a 10. The colors are very pretty but the 'slip' of the dress- the solid under the lace- doesn't really lay nice and flat, which makes it look kind of awkward. But I doubt anyone but me could notice. Wore for about 30 minutes while taking engagement photos.

The silk feels luxurious - wore it to a rehearsal dinner.
Ah, this dress just feeeels great. It's so breezy and flowy. I really liked that aspect of it. That said, like the other reviewers have mentioned - it runs large. I normally wear a 6 and knew this so sized down to a 4 but I recommend that you actually size down two sizes if you don't have a large chest. I wore it to a friend's wedding rehearsal and then to the outdoor dinner and it was perfect. You can class this dress up or down with accessories. I would really like to own this dress for day-to-day wear as I loved how versatile it was. And while I thought the dress photographed well - the color is even better in person. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in - the model's photo makes it look like there's a deliberate gathering in the front that gives the hem a layered look. I did not find this to be true however I still really liked the look. Paired it simply with yellow shoes and a yellow belt and was good to go!

Vibrantly colored dress - great for a spring wedding.
The color is very vibrant. I loved it. The fit though, as some other reviewers have mentioned, is a bit more suited to someone with a fuller chest. I'm a 34B and when I sized down the 4 fit me great in the bust but left little room in the rib area. I ended up wearing the 4 to the indoor wedding ceremony just because the bust felt more secure but had to switch to the 6 for the reception to give myself room to breathe, move and dance. A couple other things to note; the two dresses I received were in great condition but were obviously made at different times as the inner lining was a different color. As a result of this the two dresses were actually slightly different lengths - the 4 was actually an inch and a half longer than the 6. Also, I felt this dress really needed some jewelry. I paired it with a medium sized statement necklace for some flair. Overall great dress for a wedding. Very pleased with the rental!
