Reviews are accurate about it running small. I usually wear a Size 14 US and I ordered the Size 16 because I wanted a fitted look.

The dress was skin tight and the lower abdomen part that puffs out makes it look like a maternity dress.

 It just depends on the body style and the body shaper you use whether or not it looks flattering.

I suggest ordering one size up if you have a flat stomach, but if you have some extra weight on your stomach, order 2 sizes up.

I gave it 4 stars, because the dress is beautiful, but my body is not, so not their fault there. The fabric is also really nice. I was worried it would be that awful, starchy feeling fabric but it was not. It felt smooth and soft. It is also thick, but I think you will still need a slip for the White dress.
