I'd say this runs a little big to size. There is a lot of fabric to this dress. The top bust part you really have to fill out, and the stomach panels are also baggy. I tied ribbons around these pieces to make it more flattering. The skirt isn't see through in front due to the draping, but the back is a little see through (nude thong works though). The bust part is double layered so it's not see through - which is good since it's very tough to wear a bra! It's a very cute dress.
