I bought this dress in the dark red color two years ago for a holiday Christmas party and ended up buying the brown one a week ago for a wedding. It's very true to size. I'm 5 3 and 155 lbs and bought a medium. I love the shape of the dress and how it fits like a glove. The material is estremy soft and stretchy. Not kidding, probably going to buy it in every color. I was nervous about buying an unknown brand off Amazon but this dress is AMAZING. I will say that it's very figure forming, but tasteful. It does cover everything but it is very snug. So if you don't like to flaunt it, don't buy it.
