After reading reviews I decided to go with my normal size, I am a 4 sometimes a 2 with very narrow hips. This baby is very fitted. However, the material is nice and thick, and it seems to be made well. I bought it for a trip with my husband, and it will be great for that. If I wanted to wear it to work, I would need to go up at least one size maybe two. Be carful what undergarments you wear! Color is nice and well represented. I like that it is longer, and deliberately purchased it for that reason. I could wear it to work in the winter with an oversized sweater and some boots.
