Bought this for a dance for my 14 year old daughter. She is just over 5'7, and a size 8, small chested, and fairly straight (not much in the way of hips or butt). We ordered a large and she is very happy with the way it fits. She probably could have worn a medium but she'd rather have it slightly loose than fitted (personal preference). Note how long it is on a fairly tall girl; would definitely hit below the knee if you're much shorter than her.

On to the dress itself: the colors are pretty muted, which she loves. It's feminine without being frilly, and the fabric has a nice feel. It does seem delicate, but not at all poorly made. Everything lines up, and there doesn't seem to be any questionable stitching, no loose threads hanging off, etc.

Overall, she is thrilled with this dress, and I am thrilled to have a daughter who doesn't want all her goodies hanging out  We would recommend this dress with no hesitation!
