I ordered several similar black dresses to wear to a wedding, and this one didn't work for me. I'm a size 4, and the size 4 was just a hair too small in the rib area. I was worried that going up a size would be too big. I also didn't like the chest padding. It sat at a very strange place, way higher than my actual chest, and I wasn't sure how a bra would work with it. I also found the style a little dull for my tastes. The dress is very pretty, and the quality is decent for the price.
