This dress is beautiful and has the look and quality of a much more expensive dress from a higher end department store.  I ordered the quarter sleeve, longer version in black. I did size up one size, I'm 5'9, 185lbs., normally a 12, and i ordered a 14.  It fit perfect, definitely snug, but the material is thick and structured enough that it won't show imperfections too much.  I would suggest spanx if you are a bit bumpy like me. The length is good and very flattering (it came to a little higher than mid calf on me). As much as i love this dress, though, i am returning it.  It is very fitted in the butt and I'm just not confident enough to highlight this area. On anyone else who doesn't mind, this will be a nice and surprisingly comfortable dress!
