Nice material, beautiful beading, and the medium fit just right (if anything, I thought it would be a tad bigger as most mediums sit a bit big on me, but this medium is a bit on the smaller side and fit snugly although not too tightly). It was NOT enough off in size to suggest ordering a size up unless your typical size tends to be a bit tight on you. The bust was a bit off (a bit of extra material at the sleeves meant it didn't fit flush against the chest, but nothing obvious and it is easily pinned back) and the dress was about 1.5 inches longer than I expected. I'm not sure if it was just the particular color I got (the dark red one)- as the other dress colors in the customer pictures looked the length I expected- but the one I received was long enough that the fringe ended just about an 2 inches above my ankles. From the pictures I've been wiki-ing, it may actually be a historically accurate length. In any case, it's a lovely dress I look forward to wearing to my next party.
