I usually wear an 8 and I got a 6 as my backup size. The 6 did fit me, but it was a little tight around the arms so I ultimately wore the 8, which was slightly looser but still looked great. The pleats in this dress are so beautiful and the picture doesn't do it justice. I received compliments all night long. The dress also has little clips for your bra, so you can wear a regular bra with it. I'm a C cup and the chest area was perfect, but if you're much larger than that you might find it too tight. I also found that the fabric near the collar of the dress was slightly frayed from people wearing necklaces. I also wore a necklace which hid it, so you'll probably want to make sure you wear one too. The pockets on this dress were also great and I could easily keep my phone in one and slip it out quickly for pictures.

I thought this dress looked so cute in the picture, but as soon as I saw it in person, I knew I wasn't going to like it, and it was actually even worse when I put it on. There is tulle underneath the skirt so it is *really* poofy, and not in a good way. It looks like the skirt lays nice on the model, but trust me, it doesn't in person. Even the belt is kind of poofy and thick, so it adds more weight to your waist. It also felt like it ran a little small, on top of the belt adding about an inch onto your frame. Overall, it just wasn't flattering. The print on the skirt is cute, but it's a very vibrant pink and it's also shiny and has an iridescent purple sheen to it, which wasn't bad, but wasn't what I was expecting. When I got this dress it didn't have any reviews yet, so next time I'll order dresses that have proven themselves tried and true.
