These are absolutely beautiful, just as I expected them to be, but they definitely fit large. The body measurements size chart puts me at a 22US, but knowing I typically wear an 18US, I decided to split the difference and go for the 20. They're FAR too big for me - I'll be returning them and re-ordering a size 16, which I think will actually fit me correctly (a pain, since I'm in Canada and will have to pay returns, etc.). Essentially, go with your typical size or maybe even a size down, even if the measurement chart leads you to believe otherwise - these have room to spare and you needn't worry.
