I wore this gown to a black tie wedding. I wear a size 8 in “regular” clothes and ordered a 10r and 12r. Both sizes fit but I decided to go with the 12 to allow some space to eat! I am 5’ 6 1/2” and wore 2 inch heels and the length was about perfect. As others have commented, the fabric is heavy but it was perfect for the late fall wedding which also had an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. I am 61 and felt the dress was very age appropriate yet not matronly-always a challenge to find this sweet spot. As others mentioned, there is a built in bra and the zipper was somewhat difficult so requires assistance. I received a lot of compliments and very happy I chose this gown.
