I wore this to volunteer for a gala where we had to wear all black. It was perfect! Fancy enough to fit in with the gowns and comfortable enough that I could run around all day. It is true to size and because of the side zipper, I wore the 6. If you have hips (I have no waist!) or a bigger chest, size up.

I rented a size 6 and 8; I ended up wearing the 6. The top is see-through as mentioned in other reviews but I wore a more conservative strapless bra and it worked out perfectly. A black bandeau could also work. It was comfortable and I loved it!

I read the reviews and ordered an optional size smaller than my normal 6. Good thing I did! The slip didn't come with the 6 and even the 4 was a little roomy. Also, I paired it with a black slip of my own since the nude didn't show off the detailing well. Very comfortable, twirly and perfect for an evening summer wedding.

I tried this dress on a whim since the original dress I had selected wasn't available anymore. It was extremely comfortable and the perfect fit. It was a tiny bit big up top but the rest seemed just slightly bigger than a normal 4. I got compliments all night on it!
