Love this dress. Very long and elegant.

First off, this dress is BEAUTIFUL. If I could, I'd wear it everyday. It is super flattering and the shape it gives is anazing😍. But when I tell you I had to hold my breath, contort my body, and squeeze the zipper all the way up... I thought I was going to pop a rib. In fact, I couldn't even get it on the first day with me and my husband fighting the zipper together. There is a part on the zipper where it cinches really tight in an odd place, which is why it's so hard to get it zipped up. I only tried on the second day out of part desperation and part humor since I have a gala coming up, but was able to make it work! Definitely size up, but if you already purchased it in your usual size, just know that you might be able to finesse the zipper like I did by putting it on backwards to zip it and then turning it back around once you've done that. After that, it did fit almost perfectly and wasn't hard to breathe or uncomfortable.
