I ordered this as a backup choice, fully expecting to wear something else. But once I tried this on, I knew this was the one! I got the size 4 and size 6. Oddly, the size 6 was more form-fitting and fit better in the chest than the size 4. I am guessing that since these dresses get worn by multiple people, they subtly stretch in areas for each wearer’s body. I ended up wearing the size 4, though, even though the chest was a tiny bit looser, because the size 6 had a little bit of extra fabric at the back that I think I’d have had to keep adjusting during the night. I did have to use the iron and some steam on it, so it didn’t have a crumpled out-of-the-bag look. And I did experience a bit of a pinch between my should blades as the night went on, due to the way the straps fit and how much fabric weight they were holding. None of that matters, though! I’m just giving all the details, so you’ll be prepared. I wore this to a June gala in the casual Seattle area, which means that my dress was more at the upper end of formal. It was definitely eye catching, due to the unique silhouette and style. I received compliments all night, and was even told by someone in the that I was the winner for best dressed! (There wasn’t really a contest. Ha!) I really recommend this dress. You will catch glimpses of your reflection and be like, “OMG!” because it’s just so lovely. My measurements are 35x27x35.5. My 2.5” heel was the perfect height in both sizes.

I marked “just right” for sizing, but the caveat is that I was actual kind of between sizes 2 and 4 for this dress. The 2 was a big snug in the ribcage and the 4 was a bit loose in the chest. Neither of these were a deal breaker, and I could have worn either size. I had decided to wear the size 4 to be sure I could breathe comfortably, but then I chose a different dress altogether! The event was a PNW June gala on a warm day. The fabric for this dress seemed a bit heavy and the color was a little bit darker than I expected, so I wore the other style I’d ordered. (It turns out another woman at the event wore a dress similar to this one in a slightly lighter color, and it looked gorgeous on her.) My current measurements are 35x27x35.5. My 2.5” heel was the perfect height in both sizes.
