According to the size chart, I was between the Large and the X-Large. Knowing how Asian sizes fit, I went with the XL, figuring it would be fairly easy to take it in if it was a bit too loose around the middle. Boy was I wrong! This dress fits like a potato sack. It's very loose and soft. I probably could have gone with the Medium (I usually wear size 8). Now they are sold out of the green, so I am sending this one back.
