Sizing help: small or medium?

Reposting because I noticed the video was too cropped

I think I’m a schmedium 😭😭😭 the material is super soft and stretchy on this dress so honestly I’m comfortable in both, the medium feels a little too big and the small feels just a smidge small. The wedding is in a few days so no time for alterations…the first video is the small. The first is the small. What do you think?

Overnight parking near Crown Complex?

Hi, I am attending the J. Cole show next week. I was hoping to find off site parking within walking distance so that I am able to return items to my car if needed. But I also wanted the freedom to leave my vehicle overnight if I decide. Any ideas on places I could park that are close that I wouldn’t get towed? Complex policy explicitly says no overnight parking. I looked on the map and thought maybe Wesleyan Pentecostal Church or one of the hotels near the colosseum? Any guidance or advice is greatly appreciated!! TIA!!!

Did I mess up??

Hi, I bought a Sony A7iv and the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN II Art lens in November. I am new to photography and this was my first camera and lens. When I first bought it, I read online that a lens hood wasn’t really necessary in the beginning. Now I’m reading more and I’m worried because I’ve been using my lens without a lens hood or a lens protector. Do you think I’ve permanently damaged my lens in anyway? I’ve taken it to the beach on vacation once. I do shoot outside on occasion but I’m not seeing anything weird on the images I’m taking, such as dust or scratches.

Planning to order a lens protector and a hood now. Just wondering if I messed up??? :(

To bra or not to bra?

Edit: SOLVED!!

Do you think this dress requires a bra? Or would a bra enhance my chest and the dress? Or should I settle for boob tape or pasties?

Also any styling recommendations like jewelry, hair, or shoes are greatly appreciated as well. The brides requesting pearls and nude heels.

TIA!!! ❤️

P. S. This is the Lydia Dress from Birdy Grey — color: sea glass, size: small. I am 5’9 and 155 lbs.

Edit: lots of people commenting on the dress being too small — I ordered a size up as well and attached the photo to a comment below! I plan to take both dresses to my seamstress appointment and see what she thinks but I am 99% sure based on these comments and my comfort in the dresses, we will end up keeping the medium and likely sewing in some cups and taking the hips in some… These are made to order dresses and I heard they ran large so originally ordered a small originally and ordered the medium after I received the small. Luckily I had some time since the wedding is in September and my seamstress appt is this week.

Size up?!

EDIT: SOLVED!! Thank you :)
Wondering if I should size up? This is a size small. It zips and I can sit and move comfortably but it fits JUST right. I know if I size up I’ll probably spend more on alterations. I’m just nervous to cut it this close in size with a wedding in September… I considered ordering the medium and comparing but it would come outside my return window for the small. Ugh.
