I had to size down on this one. By the chart on the Leger website, I should have been a small, but I was swimming in the S and the XS was spot on. Additionally, the straps on this one run long and are apt to fall down. I made do, but I suspect that RTR is hanging thesr dresses from hangers for storage and that's causing the straps to stretch permanently. Leave yourself time to address that potential issue. If one is industrioys you might be able to use teensy tiny safety pins as bra strap holders to keep them up. I didn't do that, afterall, but I considered it. I was able to wear this with a balconette bra that has fully movable straps. As in, the back band allows you to adjust the straps to attach at any point along the band from right under your arms to right next to the hook and eyes, at half inch spaces So, I was able to conceal the straps in back. This would not have worked with a traditional bra as the straps would show in back. Also, the neckline sat juuust above the cups on mine. Most strapless will show at the top of the neckline as the cups tend to sit higher but this neckline is low. You need low cups and very wide set straps. A sticky bra may work for some, or no bra at all with this one. Otherwise, very attractive, flattering, classically lined dress. Hubs loved it, and my kids, from toddler to teen all said the same. It's hard to squeeze a compliment out of a 16 year old. So, that speaks for itself.
