I'm between a 6/8. I wore the 8 due to availability and time, but probably could/should have done the 6. How we, it's such a floaty dress you can get away fudging the size in either direction. The 8 looked great. The ruffle placement is perfect to flatter everything you want and hide any lumps and bumps. I got so many compliments and was comfortable all night. Didn't want to take it off!

This dress was perfect but the one I got had seen better days. It was a little too threadbare for me to wear. Also definitely short as other had mentioned, but this didn't bother me!

Super comfortable but the twist landed right on my midsection (my biggest problem area) and wasn't super flattering. But, very comfortable and easy to wear! The skirt was a little tight but that didn't bother me since the top is so blousy

y'all, these are lightweight, fun, and elegant. They dress up or down. I got so many compliments! If I had received a pair with a little less wear on them, I would have bought them.LOVE.

I usually wear this in a size 4, which was the only size available in this dress for my occasion. Sadly, I needed at least a 6, so I wasn't able to wear it.

This is a great necklace just as others described. Not too much to be gaudy, just right!

This was a little too bodycon to look on good my less than perfect figure. I probably should have know better but was hopeful from the other reviews saying it sucked in at all the right places. You could also tell this is a popular dress as there was some pulling in the lace, but nothing noticeable from a few feet back. The boning also ended in a place that created some lumps and bumps I normally don't have. Perhaps if I had gone another size up that would have solved the boning issue. I probably wouldn't have chosen this dress if I had had the opportunity to try it on, but I was in a crunch so I threw on a cardigan and made it work. If you have a better silhouette than me it will look great!

I'm usually a 4 and probably could have worn the 4 in this dress, but the 2 fit me better. This dress is crazy comfortable, but the other reviews are right - it is super cleavagy. I didn't have any fashion tape so I spent the night with my sweater wrapped around me to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions. Super cute dress though - very easy to wear and very forgiving. If you don't mind the low cut top, it will look good even on fat days!

This was surprise stylist bling and would have totally gone with my dress, but at the end of the day just wasn't quite my style. Easy to wear, though. Not too heavy.

I wanted to love this piece because I LOVED the color. It's a fun piece, but just didn't work with the necklines of the dresses I had to go with it. It would probably be great as a statement piece with a simple sheath or even a white t-shirt. For me, it was just too big and plastic looking. Don't let that scare you away - I think this will be great for someone else, I just wasn't quite bold enough to go for it. (I wore pearls instead, if that gives you any indication of how wild and crazy I am.)

I got this to wear to an event where I wasn't sure how dressy it would be and this was perfect. WIth flats and muted accessories this dress can go daytime casual. Add heels and accessories and it dresses up for cocktails or parties. Love the back scoop, too - playful and cute. I could have worn the 4 or 6 but went with the 4 so I'd say order down for your backup size.

This is super simple and elegant. I felt very Kate Middleton wearing it. It was the perfect length for me, but I often wear petite sizes so it might be a little shorter on taller girls. If you're worried about length, try the Trina Turk dress that's similar - it was knee length on me and this hit mid to upper thigh. Order down for your backup size. Loved this dress! Photos coming.

I canceled this from my order but it came anyway. I tried it on to see if I could wear it but it was just too chunky and trendy for the conservative wedding I was attending. Great chunky piece though and would probably look great on somebody younger willing to be a bit edgier.
