Hi , im looking at a SOTTERO & MIDGLEY dress online. My street size is a 6 and the dress size is an 8. Does anyone else have a sottero ant midgley dress? Do they run small? It has a corset back. Thanks so much

    I assume all Maggie dresses run the same... I'm a street size 12 and my dress is a Maggie Sottero size 14 with corset back.

    I'm a street size 2 and they ordered me an 8 in my Maggie Sottero. Big mistake. A 4 probably would have fit perfectly. No corset.

    I am a Street size 0-2 and my Maggie is a 6. I am what some may call top heavy and was told to order my dress to fit the girls and the waist can be taken in.

    My Maggie Sottero dress is 2 sizes bigger than my normal street clothes. But I think this is very common for wedding dresses in general

    Look up the sizing chart and go to a seamstress that you'll use for alterations to be measured.

    I'm going to say you should see if you can find the dress somewhere to try it on. I'm a size 6 as well and my wedding dress had to be ordered in a size 12 for my hips. It's better to size up and alter down than to get a dress that's too small.

    This is the size 12 and you can see where she put the clips that it will just need to be altered there and she told me also under my butt to get the mermaid look the dress is supposed to have. It's very important to try them on because all your measurements are taken into consideration and the dress is basically ordered off of what would fit your biggest measurement.

    This is standard for wedding dresses.

    I would try some on. It's not as easy as just going up a couple of sizes. The sample size I tried on was a 4 and was tight in the hips/butt and loose up top. My measurements for my hips came in between 8 and 10 and they ordered a 10 to be safe. It was very confusing. lol. Bottom line is they base your size on your largest measurement, at least that's what I was told.

    It doesn't matter what the number says. I always tell people to ignore that. They are going to order the size that fits the largest part of your body and then you get it altered to fit you.
