I chose this dress for an engagement photo shoot. I was looking for something with a train to look royal and elegant. This met expectations. I usually wear either a size 4 or 6. However, I am a 36D, so with formal wear that I know doesn't have give, I size up. The dress was hard to zip in my chest area, and then somewhat loose in the waist area. I expect this with formal wear though on me because the size between my waist and chest is disproportionate. Because I am busty, I would otherwise say the dress is true to size. My fiance and I have received so many compliments on our photos, such as "elegant" and "regal."

This dress was true to size. I usually wear a size 4, and ordered a small. It is definitely fitted, but I think a medium would have been too big. I am 5'7. I wore it in Vegas, so I also ordered hem tape. Otherwise it would have been too long for a nightclub outing, even though I'm not a shorter girl. Be prepared for the fact that the dress is heavy, and you will definitely feel it more than a lighter dress when you are wearing it.
