I liked this dress enough to buy a second one in the Navy Blue Floral, but I had to exchange sizes initially. I'm 5'5" and 155 pounds, with the majority of my weight being in my hips, thighs, and butt. I'm pear shaped. I originally ordered the medium (my usual size) but it was surprisingly too tight in the boobs. It pulled uncomfortably from the shoulder down to the elasticized waist. So it was too tight lengthwise, not across. This is never a normal problem for me. I'm a perky 36 B with a shorter torso, so I do think the sizing is a bit weird. It fit great everywhere else.

I reordered it in a size large and it's now comfortable in the bust (perhaps a bit roomy with extra material below the waist, but it gives me some leeway for washing and it shrinking).

It's just a casual, comfy dress I bought for running errands.
