ordered it in ivory in a standard size 6  without sleeves and with a normal necklineand fit as expected around my waist. Cups and shoulders are a little big so the dress will need altering. Zipper is unpredictable. The train is super long and might need bustling/hemming. Not exactly like the picture but thats okay. Tulle and lace are lovely. Overall, this is a great dress. Packs into a small sized shipping envelope.
