I so wanted this dress to be right as I love Toad&Co products.  Not only are they staples with their classic styles but they last too.  I am usually an XS in their products but the small was on sale so I gave it a try thinking a little room wouldn't hurt as my XS are body hugging (in a good way).  While it did almost sorta fit, what didn't fit was where the waist cut in.  I have a short torso and am only 5-3 no matter what size I am and with it hitting so low, but not really hitting anywhere in particular, it made my body look weird and accentuated the rest of the dress having a little too much room.  In my opinion, the dress is cut to really fit you.  It's not going to be anything skin tight but there isn't a lot of play in the design if you are too short/tall or have short/long torso.  Most of you ladies will not have this issue and it really is a lovely piece and the color is something different but not TOO different.  My SO actually still really liked it on me and wanted me to keep it so even not fitting right, it still looked good to him.
