This is an extremely elegant, well-made, beautiful dress for a truly amazing price! I bought a second because, eventually, it will wear out. Unlike many of the other reviewers, I didn't find the size to be smaller than expected. Im 59, have an athletic build and am somewhere around 135 lbs. (Never step on a scale.) I ordered a size 4/6, and it fit me perfectly. Im grateful that I didn't order larger, as instructed, because the next size up wouldnt have fit me. Anyway, gorgeous dress!
