I saw this DVF dress online and was thinking about ordering it but when I checked the size chart, it looked like I would need a size 10. I usually wear a size 6 or 8. Are the DVF dresses a small make or is the size chart wrong?
DVF generally runs one size small. If you wear a 6/8 I think you'd be fine in a DVF 10. Recently I bought my first one and had to size up to a 10 (I normally wear an 8 in DVF), though that particular style ran small this year.
I've never tried on the dress you're looking at, though.
If you've got any kind of chest, you'll want to consider that as well. I am a C cup and I have to size up in DVF (my normal dress size is 8; in DVF I am a 10).

Thanks everyone for the information. I often have to have my dresses taken in from the waist up. Even though I wear a DD cup, my rib cage is very small. I think with the cut, the hips wouldn't be a problem so the 8 should work.
I'll have to think about it a bit as I just bought a BR silk wrap dress in a geometric pattern a on e-bay. I'm a dress a holic.
