I typically wear 20W or 22W depending on the dress, so I ordered a 22W with a 20W as my backup. The 20W fit nicely. The dress runs large and is long - even the 20W came past my knees and I wouldn't consider myself short. I was worried about looking matronly, but that was remedied by the right hair, jewelry and shoes. I wore the dress with a sticky bra (didn't have to worry about the band peeking out the back) and didn't feel the need to wear shapewear of any kind.
