I would go with the 18, as that's what their site says. You can always get it taken in if it's too big? xx

Yes, I agree, buy the 18. It's much easier to take it in, than let it out.

Go with what the size chart says. I wouldn't worry too much about the number.
Do they have an option to put in custom measurements? If they do, is that a possibility - it would probably be cheaper to do that than to have it altered over here?

Don't worry about the actual dress size stated, I am a size 8 normally (sometimes even a 6) and I had to order my wedding dress in a size 12 to fit my largest measurement and will then have to have the rest taken in. Go for the size 18 if that is the right measurement, as the other ladies have said, it is much easier to have it taken in than to make it bigger xxx

i would defo say go for the bigger size anything i have ever ordered from china is always way to small. by BM dresses are from china and i went for the biggest measurement and i am so glad i did becoz they are literally the size they state. like the other ladies said you can always have it altered should it be to big in other areas. xxx

Deffo the size it says on the site i've bought suit jackets for work from china before and ignored the sizing and it had to go back as it was tiny i think a lot of the girls in that part of the world must be really petite so you have to scale upwards to compare with uk sizes.

Having just made huge mistake with mine I would say definitely order the larger size or add your measurements for a custom size xx
