This is a cute dress.  But, it is NOT made for curvy women.  It does run very small so I ordered two sizes up.  It fit fine.  But, the bodice is made for a woman without hips or a tummy.  If you have slight curves it will highlight these areas and look fantastic!  However if you have larger hips or a tummy this will not be a flattering dress.  The bust fit me perfect but I can see where it would not be flattering nor fit a large busted woman.
