I got this because the top part was sexy. The dress runs a size and a half small - I felt like a sausage casing with this dress on. It literally squishes and flattens your butt and sucks in whatever curves/hips you have. For reference I'm 5'2 120 lbs, w/ slight curves. Would recommend sizing up or even two sizes - does nothing for your figure so shapewear or a BBL may be required, lol.
