It is beautiful. Fitted and holds on everything. If you have big hips, I wouldn’t really say size up. But just be careful, I have to sew the side myself but after I did the dress was fine the rest of the night. XL, 5’1, 170

I’d say this dress matches the description and pictures, also it’s true to size. It has a little bit of stretch to it, I’m usually medium but I got large just in case, I could’ve been fine with a medium one.
