I thought long and hard about ordering this dress based upon a shoe I received for Christmas. Both are the perfect shade of Gray! The dress fits very nicely. I wear a size 10 on the bottom and sometimes I need a 12 in the top depending how it fits however, 10 is my size. I ordered the Medium due to other reviews posted on the site. Jersey will always give a little, and if you are planning to wear a Spanx (ALL WOMEN NEED SPANX), then you will be just fine. I wore Spanx to smooth my curves as I don't like butt jiggle. If you eat, your stomach will protrude a little so keep that in mind. The dress comes past your knee, which I loved! I wore the In-Power Line Super High Footless Shaper Spanx with the dress cause the dress fits like a glove and showed every muscle in my thighs. That particular Spanx come past the knee but can be pulled up to rignt under the knee and its high waisted as I needed the extra support inthe waist. Be mindful of that when ordering. The off the shoulder part was a little tricky as it wouldn't stay off my should much. I used the dress tape to try to hold it in place. I love the dress and will consider purchasing it when it goes on sale on the site.
