I have an hour glass shape. I wear an 8-10 in hips but my waist is a 4-6. I would definitely recommend ordering down a size because it tended to pucker in the chest area and i prefer a tight feel and a smoother bodice especially when the dress has a fuller tea length skirt. Also, the threading on the hem of the skirt, being unnoticeable at first touch , would also scratch and prick the back of my legs as it would brush against my skin as I walked making it slightly unbearable by the end. Other than my poor decision in size and the sharpness of the threading(?) on the hem becoming uncomfortable, I felt classy, glamorous, and sophisticated. I received so many compliments and my friends were jaw dropped as I walked through the parking lot to meet them prior to entering the garden cocktail party. I felt beautiful and that's all I could have asked for. The fabric made the dress look so expensive and I thought the florals looked very high end on the gown.

So because this dress is only fitted through the natural waist I was able to order a 6. I am an hourglass/pear so I would have to order an 8 otherwise to accommodate my hips. Received so many compliments. One girl mentioned how it was just the right shade of red and the color she was looking for but couldn't find it! Another guy told my date that I was gorgeous and all though I was a sweaty mess because the ceremony was outside under no shade in 105* NC, I was able to walk in confidence as the dress moved and twirled as I walked. I felt sophisticated, a tad sexy, and like I could rule the world. The fabric is also great quality fabric. I (seriously) believe I was the only one after the ceremony that didn't have sweat marks under the arms throughout the neck and stomach and even on the behind!
