Love, love this dress!  It ran a little small in the buttock area.  I normally wear a size 12 (14, if the dress it fitted) and this was too snug for my taste.  I had ordered the 14 thinking I had plenty of room.  I probably could have gotten away with it, but decided to return it.  I have since gotten the dress in a size 16 (ugh) and it fits fantastic.  I like my clothing a little on the looser side and it fits great,  I showed my boyfriend and he loved it.  I bought it for a formal wedding I am attending and cannot wait to wear this dress.  It is so classy and elegant.
