I love this dress!!! Honestly, I couldn't believe I could fit it. Most designer dresses run small but I worked really hard to lose weight and I did. My pants size are an 8 and I fit the size 8 dress. That's never happened, I usually always have to go up a higher size because I'm busty but it worked out. The dress is really short and you have to plan out what kind of chest support you're going to use. I went with a "U" bra or silicon inserts would have worked too. I rented this dress for a photo shoot and I know my photos will have a burst of color with this cobolt blue dress. I highly recommend it. Everyone I was with complimented me in it and the color.
