V. ChapmanCharlotte Jacquard Gown

Beautiful dress, runs small

Beautiful dress! I wore this to a black tie wedding and it was perfect. The pattern is lovely and subtle and the neckline is so flattering. That said, it does run a little bit small in the waist, with very little give. I am reliably a size 4 and had to size this up to a size 6. Also note that it is very long (I am 5'5" and could have hemmed at least 1.5 inches off of it) and difficult to hem, as you don't want to lose too much of the skirt below where it poofs out, but hemming it above that break is difficult and expensive.
