I was disappointed when I tried on the dress. Based on the other review, I sized up to a 6.  I'm usually a US size 4 so I thought going up to a 6 was going to work. I needed to probably size up to an 8. Also, the top of the dress has the hook closures which I love but that was only the top two closures.  The rest were the tiny snap buttons so because I'm a big on top, these opened and would not hold me in. These snap closures probably would not have worked even if I would have sized up.
