I am a size 10 - I ordered a 12 as I thought with a side zip it would be needed. I could not zip the dress. I would have at least needed a size 14 to zipper , but then it would have been too big elsewhere. Returning tomorrow.

This is a very pretty and well made dress. It would be great for work or for a night out, evening wedding, etc. I usually wear a size 2 but I've gained a little weight (5 lbs) recently so I ordered a size 4 to be on the safe side. Even the size 4 was a bit snug but not too small that I need to return it. It may just be that the style of dress is very form fitting. My husband and daughters loved it so I'm keeping it.
