Wore to my son's wedding. Fit my pear shaped body well. Was comfortable and true to size. I did have to pin the front closed or it would have been way to open.
Wish it was navy, but it still worked and would recommend.

I loved that my husband told me I looked beautiful! That doesn't happen often enough, so I was very pleasedâ¤ï¸

Pros:
Length was fine, even for a shorter person.
Top fit a bigger chested (d cup) person around the fullest part of the chest without distorting the lines of the garment (though there is a con to the fit of the chest listed below)

Cons:
The top fabric felt strangely cheap, even though it was thick enough. I think maybe it was the sheen? It just screamed cheap polyester.
The hemline was ragged. I don't mean scalloped. I mean someone hadn't cut the netting properly and in a couple places it was jagged or uneven.
I thought the darker top would help my chest look less big, but maybe because it's got a straight- across waistline, and the skirt was so light in comparison, I thought it just made me look pear shaped instead.
Top V is so deep, anyone with any boob at all is going to need a cami, which adds bulk up top that I personally don't want (or they'll be stuck showing a lot of cleavage.)

I started with my normal dress size from the chart and the next size just in case. Both were too small. I then took my measurements and referred to the chart. I was in between two sizes so I went up to the next size and that one was a bit big at the waist but the bust was fine. The dress is full, so the hips didn't matter as much. Since I have a couple of months until the wedding, I went ahead and ordered the 4th dress in the next size down, figuring it would be a better fit in the waistband. That dress was extremely tight in the arms and waist. I'm going to stick with the one that is a little big at the waist because the dress itself is really pretty. The bodice is not an extremely thin material and the skirt under the lace is a thin polyester. I'm hoping that it's not going to attract static.
I really like the style of this dress, however the sizing is a guessing game. If you are prepared for possibly needing to reorder, this is an elevated look suitable for a special occasion. I started with a 3x and 4x (normally size 20w) Measuring put me between 6x-7x(big gasp) I ordered the 7x. Reordered the 6x that was significantly smaller than the 7x.

Update after the wedding- The dress didn't drop any sequins. It looked great and had no static buildup. I used an iron to steam the wrinkles, putting a pillowcase on top of the area as I ironed. I followed the washing instructions and turned the dress inside out and placed it in a lingerie bag. After washing on delicate, I hung it to dry. It held up well and looked great!

This is absolutely gorgeous. I bought a size and had to come down 1 size than normal. I'll stitch the cleavage area so it doesn't gape open. But that will make it perfect
