I sent this dress back, even though I did ultimately think that it was cute. I purchased the large for my daughter ( my mistake, should have gotten the medium). Be sure to use the chart given, it is perfect. I mistakenly listened to a few reviews that said to order 1 size up, and I should have trusted my instinct. The dress fit me perfectly, and was so cute, but it is for my daughter, not me. I will say that the neckline is very high, and the dress most likely looks best on women with a c cup or larger ( not me, lol), as it is somewhat baggy in the chest area. But over all a cute dress. We ordered her a medium in a different style by this same brand, so hopefully it will be really cute. This dress does look best with a petticoat.
