Very nice dress for what we need it for. My daughter wears a size 12 according to the chart but I read other reviews and decided to order a size larger for my daughter because she has really broad shoulders. Im glad I did because the shoulder area just fits her. We had to get the dress hemmed a bit and taken in a bit more at the waist, but it was a decent dress. It did have some lose threads and the string in the back to lace up was stained pink a little in some places so I cant give it five stars, but it works for what we need it for.
