This was a decent dress for the price, but I returned it. It was more of a velvety, winter material, and I was looking more for a short sleeved dress to wear in warmer months. I'm usually a medium in U.S. sized tops (occasionally a large) and a 10 curvy in jeans. I ordered this dress in size large. It fit okay and the stretchy material was forgiving. However, the "waist" hit several inches above my natural waist--and I'm not tall (5'4" and 149 lbs. on a good day).
