Okay so first off— this dress is crazy comfy. I mean I could sleep in it, that is how soft it is. I am normally a 2 but sized up just because sometimes formal dresses are tight in the zipper area. It was big on me. It was a super easy fix. I have recommended these dresses to 3 other brides and am ordering it in another color for a different wedding. By far my favorite bridesmaid dress that I have worn!!!! Do not hesitate to purchase. Worry every penny and more!!!!!
