The embroidery detail on this dress is stunning! I found the fit to be true to size for evening wear, which always tends to run small. If you've never worn evening wear, size up from your normal dress size. I am fuller on top therefore, I had no trouble with the lining riding up. There is some stretch in the skirt lining but not in the bodice. I took measurements of the size 12 and 14 hoping this would help someone better choose their correct fit. SIZE 12 measurements laying flat: Arm pit to arm pit (bust), 18 1/2 Waist, 16" Hips, 21 1/2" (not stretched) Length 40" SIZE 14 measurements laying flat: Arm pit to arm pit (bust), 20" Waist 17" Hips 22" (not stretched) Length 40"
