Velvet & Mesh Sleeveless Dress

First of all, the dress is not taupe. It's a bit lighter than the picture and is a milk-chocolate color. It's pretty. Second, it runs big. I am 5'8 and 135 lbs. I ordered size 4 & 6 and both were too big. The size 4 would have fit except the ruching is right under the ribs, creating a lot of width. I am slender and it looked really boxy on me. It was not flattering at all. It needs to be made differently. Maybe a 2 would have been best but my event is over and I never wore it anyway. It is however, made well, so order a couple sizes down.
