Beautiful! Prepare yourself for compliments! True to size. Im a US size 18, and this is perfect in an 18W. I have this dress in a smaller size, gained weight and bought the 18 because I love it so much! Sad I didn't get to wear this one and sent it back, because it was obviously worn for an event by someone else and then returned, then they sold it to me and it wasn't clean and jewels were loose. Couldnt replace it in time for my event. Just have to lose weight so I can wear my 16 again! Im 56 and the length is perfect.
