First... I love the dress. When asked ' Was it as described', the answer is yes AND no.

I am wearing this dress in an outdoor wedding in the summer in Texas.  The 95% cotton was the final selling point on the dress... it meant I wouldn't be passing out in the heat.

Well, I'll be passing out in the heat. I don't think there is a single thread of cotton in the dress. Not sure what fabric it is because there is no label stating. It's very heavy and nice and stretchy... but I will be fully melting down in the heat.

That being said... very well made and I'm overall very happy with my purchase.

I was going to buy a large based on their chart. I'm at the low end of large- high end of medium. My daughter told me to go medium. Fits like a glove. If it were 95% cotton as described... would probably be too tight.

For reference, I'm 5'4", 130+- lbs. And fairly evenly weight distribution.
