I rented this in the L and the M - I'm usually between a M and L in Opening Ceremony's stretchy stuff as I own a few pieces. In this dress I was a L, but the fit was just really unflattering. I'm pretty tall, with an average length torso, but the waistband on this dress a) didn't hit my natural waist (it hit about 3-4 inches below) and b) the waistband is about 2-3 inches tall, so it sort of engulfed my waist and brought attention to the areas where my waist widens versus just nipping in at the waist in a flattering way. The material is incredible and the print is beautiful, I just wouldn't recommend this unless you have a longer torso and a very defined waist! And despite being structurally sound, the material is not the type to suck you in - it's comfortable but it has a lot of give, so if you want that Herve Leger suck-you-in effect, you can probably comfortably size down.
