This dress is lovely but does run small. I am pear shaped and wear a 16 in dresses and tops although I am an 18/20 in bottoms. I'm not very busty or small chested, I fall somewhere in the middle and I absolutely needed to size up. The backup 18 I ordered fit like a glove on top and the skirt length was on the shorter side because of my larger bottom half and long torso. If modesty is a concern for you and you have a similar body type to mine, keep that in mind. Now, as for the dress itself, gorgeous. The print is beautiful. The fabric feels heavy which I loved because it keeps the shape of the dress and adds security if you worry about wardbrode malfunctions while dancing or if the event is on a windy day. However, the weight and fabric is going to make you warmer so any experience involving the sun or lots of dancing will be intensified. The bow/belt is both cute and functional if you want to cinch it in a bit. I 100% recommend trying this dress. Side note: I had to request the next size up from my backup because I wasn't happy with the overall condition of the size 18 but had my heart set on the dress. Customer service was amazing and overnighted me the dress I ultimately wore. It was on the larger side but the weight of the fabric and the belt helped the fit and I had a bit of a larger skirt which I didn't mind terribly but the extra fabric in the front made it look like a maternity dress. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because of the fit on top. I only wanted to judge the dress by its overall quality and sizing accuracy. Everything else I shared was based on personal preference in the hope that the information provided helps anyone who is on the fence about this dress.
