This dress was gorgeous, but I'd recommend sizing up. The 8 was snug on me through the hips and a good fit on top. Unfortunately someone larger in the chest had clearly worn it before, as there was some tugging at the center neckline where the white fabric met the black. The quality lapse is unusual, so I reported this and they're going to fix it. The white is very sheer. I tried it with some pasties, but my extremely pale skin showed the khaki-ish "skin tone" straight through. some clear double-stick body tape would have done the trick, but the tugging damage was too unsightly, and I didn't have time to wrangle "the girls" with just tape in time for my event. The bottom part is very tailored, and sexier than it looks in the model photos. I'm disappointed I didn't get to wear this, but I might try renting it again in a larger size.

My only complaint is that there is no give to the satin bodice section under the lace top. It doesn't stretch, and with my wider ribcage and a large B cup it was uncomfortable when sitting down and a little tricky to breathe deeply. Girls with wide ribcages or large busts should be careful. The lace top was great and the sleeve length was perfect. The skirt felt elegant and refined.
