Gorgeous bridesmaid dress! But I feel it runs a little small in the waist. I am large busted (40G) and 5'6" tall, normally wearing a size 14. I purposely ordered a size up to accomodate my bust, fully expecting the waist to be too big. However, the bodice fit me well and the waist was a bit snug. It won't be a problem when I wear shapewear underneath, but I'm glad I sized up. It's very long even with heels, and will probably need to be hemmed and ironed due to wrinkles from shipping. I definitely recommend going up a size if you are large busted or wide waisted. The lace is beautiful even with the mesh, which fortunately matches my skintone, so you cannot see the mesh on me. The lace is a bit scratchy and uncomfortable on the back of my arm, but tolerable for 1 night. Overall, I love the dress and feel it is a good value for the cost.
