I really wanted to love this dress, because I liked the styling. I initially ordered it in my regular size, size 10, but the arms were super tight. So, I ordered it again in a size 12, and the arms fit, but the stomach area was too large to be flattering. I could have worn the 12 when 5-6 months pregnant.I love the dress perfect fit very elegant but I did'nt enjoy the time I had to spend ironong it. It was very wrinkled like it had been in a package for a long time, however it was worth itI needed a dress for a late fall Florida wedding. This fits the bill; very elegant and classy. Importantly, machine washable. As for size, I vary between an 8 and a 10 depending on designer. I went with a 10 for this dress based on other reviews and it fits perfectly. Other reviews commented that the arms were tight. I don't feel that at all. I have muscular arms that I consider on the bigger side and I have no problems fitting into the arms of this dress. Overall, a great buy that will serve my needs perfectly.Beautiful dress but odd sizing. I tried both the size 4 and 6. The 4 was too tight in the chest but fine in the hips. The size 6 was big in both hips and chest. I am 5'7¨and 126 lbs. Had to return both dresses.Gorgeous dress, love the material, design but its size is odd very small and tight in chest and arm areasThis dress does run small in the chest area. I'm 5'5, 160 lbs and 40D in the chest. I bought a size 12. It's super cute on and fit everywhere but the chest area. I had to return.Very classy looking, more elegant than the photo does justice. This was one of those Amazon gambles that paid off. Try it! The sleeves alone make your entrance to the party a theatrical event!I had mine shortened but I'm 5'2" tall and EVERYTHING is too long.Live third dress but only purchase if you are not a big busted woman, or otferva size up and alter the rest of the dress. Sadly had to return.I was worry about ordering a dress but read the measurement carefully (sowed a little larger them my usual size) but ordered by their suggestion size....and voila ...it fits !! need a good steam but they also mentioned that it would !!
