The item came promptly, and after reading other reviews, I ordered the L/XL, and it fit as expected.  I am 5' 7", and wish I could lose 20 lbs., but right now am at 160.  With the lacing adjustments back and front of the overdress, it was a good fit without looking too tight or bulgy.  I didn't want the bosom area pushed up too much and cleavage showing, as I am a tad more modest than that in public. :)  I hemmed the overdress, as expected after reading other reviews), but didn't have to cut any fabric off, turned up the hemline about 2  3/4", and did a quick hemstitch by hand.  It looks great now, not too long or too short.  (I much prefer it being a little long than too short).  The sleeves are flowy, the chemise is perfect underneath without hemming, and by adding an ankle-length not-too-full crinoline petticoat, the fullness is just right.  Bought for an upcoming Ren Faire in April in GA, which is usually pretty warm.  The lightness of the fabric should make this year's costume comfortable in the heat.  Love it!
