if your bust and waist are proportionate i would say that this dress is indeed true to size. i am narrow in the hips, so sometimes my bust is 1-2 sizes bigger than my pants size. this dress fit perfectly on my 36D bust, maybe borderline snug, and was a little bit too big in the waist. luckily, the rouching used up most of the excess fabric, and i didn't look bulky. i'm probably more of a 6 in the body of the dress and if i had actually purchased this dress i would have had it tailored in the waist a good amount. if you're busty go up a size, average or small bust stay your same size. i got compliments on this dress from the moment i hit the red carpet to the moment i was eating breakfast at the diner at 3am. the words "movie star" "stunning" and "gorgeous" were used many times. this dress is great for that timeless and flawless old Hollywood glamor style. if you have a beautiful face especially, you will shine in just the right way because your face is all anyone will be looking at. this is a princess moment for me for sure, and i was named Best Red Carpet Look the next day. can't get any better than that!
