Athletic? Size down
32-24.5-36.5 body measurements here. Upon reading reviews I originally ordered a 2 with a 4 as the backup only to discover the 2 was loose in the chest and back - I could’ve made it work in a padded bra and chest pushed out all night if I had to but who wants to do that when you’re wearing a strapless dress. Luckily RTR helped me get a 0 overnighted as it was available for the same days. I’d disregard the sizing up advice in these reviews if you’re more athletic/lean or if have a small chest as it needs to be snug to comfortably stay up so instead of getting your regular + a size up as the backup, I’d recommend getting your regular + a size down for the backup. I STILL felt like But overall it’s a good dress. It’s comfortable, surprisingly light weight, perfect length and looks exactly like it does in the photos. As mentioned the only con was needing a tighter fit and even then needing fashion tape to feel secure since it’s strapless.

Absolutely gorgeous
I went back and forth on sizes forever and finally settled on an XS (Regular) and a S (Petite) as my backup size - both would work if I needed them too but I was glad I got the XS. If you have a larger bust than me or just want it to be a little roomier/comfy, you could go S. The corset part is stiff and structured but I didn’t experience issues breathing or being comfortable as others have said because the bottom part where you need room to breathe and eat is soft and comfy and flattering. If you don’t want to wear a heel, I highly recommend getting the Petite version of your size as the Regular went almost to the floor with a 4” heel for me. I’m 5’4 and my exact measurements are 32 bust, 24.5 waist, 36.5 low hip/butt. The straps do come a little loose as others have said but not terribly so, and they felt sturdy. As long as I occasionally tightened throughout the night, it was fine - and I go hard dancing at weddings. The only complaint I had are that the cups have no structure or stiffness to them, so as someone with a 32B bra size I had to use bra inserts and fashion tape for things to look really good. I COULD have gone without but it wouldn’t have looked as good, so just be aware of that. Overall this dress was gorgeous, got tons of compliments and it was perfect for a spring mansion wedding.
