Let me start by saying I loved this dress in pictures and couldn't wait to try it on. I ordered a small (I am 5'1", 143lbs) and the small was too big, mostly in the bust area. The color was also more red than the deep burgundy of the picture, which is truly why I returned it (it's for a bridesmaids dress). The lace also had a rough texture to it, not a soft lace.
