This dress was perfect for my bridal shower! It ran a bit large on top and waist. I could have worn a 10 easily. I'm not sure if the top was just stretched or if the dress runs large. This is my second dress from Carmen Marc VaIvo. I loved it and would buy it if I could. Will definitely look for more from this designer.

The dress fit true to size. I do have a larger bust and that was about the only area that made me self conscious. The dress was amazing, everyone loved it and the photos turned out great! #engagementphotos

Like other reviews, the bodice was quite snug and the arms cut small. I would have been fine with the 8 otherwise. The waist is not fitted, so I paired it with a belt to assist. Loved the dress even with the smaller arms, received tons of compliments all night, and my boyfriend asked if I could buy it.

This was my first rental and I wasn't sure how the sizing would fit. I scoured the reviews for comparison and ordered the 10 to wear and an 8 in hopes it would fit. I am a true hourglass and typically have to go up a size due to my hips. I wore the 8 and it fit perfect everywhere. I wore this dress for around nine hours and had no comfort issues. This is definitely a great party dress. This dress does reveal some serious cleavage; if I were attending a wedding I might have pinned the front to reveal less.
