This is a beautiful dress, but I agree with other reviewers that said it runs small. I'm 5'3", 36D/DD , 150 pounds, 39 inch bust, 34 inch waist, 40 inches in the hips. I wear a size large/xlarge tops and pants. 10/12 dresses. I got the xlarge dress in yellow. I read most of the reviews as I always do when ordering shoes and clothes here on Amazon. When I pulled the dress out of the bag, I just knew it was too small. I put it back in the bag. I wasn't even gonna try it on. Later, I decided to try the dress on for size reference for future orders. I was amazed at how stretchy this dress is! The arms weren't tight nor was the bust. The length was perfect. I like dresses for special occasions to fit me well below my knees and this dress does. The dress is cut perfectly in the chest area. No boobage showing. The swing of the skirt is lovely, so a petticoat is optional. 3 reasons I returned the dress: 1) The yellow dress made my "fluffy"  midsection even more noticeable. I need to order a size xxlarge. 2)The front of the dress was very dirty! The surface where the dress was folded was probably dirty before it was packaged. 3) I didn't discover I had ordered the wrong dress until I was returning it. I meant to order the other dress like this one that has the rose at the neckline and lace like material at the hem and sleeves.
Otherwise, this dress is SO lovely and feminine. I'm going to reorder the "other" dress and keep it for later. I needed it for this weekend but it won't be in stock until next week.
This company seems to be customer oriented. This dress shipped way before it was supposed to. I like that.
