I ordered a 4 and a 6 as this said it ran true to size, but I was absolutely swimming in this dress. I think I should have ordered a zero, which is confusing because for "designers" a size 4 should be pretty small. I'd also add that I'm 3 months preg and swollen and it was still gigantic. e.g. I wear a 4or6 in theory, but would wear a 0 in banana republic dresses, but not usually in a designer dress.

Okay, caveat is that I am very small boned on top, but being that I'm 3 months pregnant I thought a 2 would work as the fit advice all said this runs true to size. I'm normally a 25" waist and even the 0 i think would have been way too big. As it was now, I'm probably about 28" and it just wasn't fitted at the top. The zero might have worked.... Also, the fabric is very stiff and the skirt of the dress sticks out a lot in the back because of this. Makes the a-line a bit too pronounced for my tastes.
