I did not end up wearing this dress at all, it was too large. I received a size 6 and 8 because I had read that it ran a bit small but that was definitely not the case for me. The size 6 I was swimming in, large through the hips and bust. With the thick brocade fabric, this needs to fit well or it looks terrible. The weight and quality of the fabric was nice and the design was beautiful. Too bad.

The dress definitely ran small compared to street sizing but right on point for high end clothing. I usually wear a 6 in dresses sometime a 4, but I definitely needed the 8 in this dress. I am larger on top and slim through the hips and the 8 was perfect. Nice dress with pretty details, much better than a LBD, especially for an evening fundraising gala which was hosted at an art gallery. I would definitely recommend for those who have more of a straight body type, it creates some nice curves!
