I usually wear a large (size 10), but I am sizing up to XL because it is short on me (I’m 5’3) and if you’ve hips, you would need to size up so it can go over it. The dress is stunning, high quality and looks like a fun yet sexy spring night out dress or even a date with the gurlies. I would say get the dress because you won’t be disappointed but size up and tailor for perfect fit.
