After reading reviews saying of your order your typical size, itll be skin tight, I thought I should size up. Im usually a 2-4 in clothes so I ordered a 6, it was way to big and and was super bagging in my waist. Definitely shouldve ordered the size 4. Also, the hook and eye at the top of the zipper gets caught in the crochet/lace and pulls on it, it snagged and pulled part of the crochet off from the seem.
