Lovely dress. Lovely color, fit, and fabric. I looked at the sizing chart, looked at reviews, ordered a size up (L instead of M), and it fit perfectly. Shoulders were on point, sleeves hit just below the elbow, waist was a fraxtion above the natural waist, but comfortably and flatteringly so, hem hit about 4 inches above my ankle bone, where I expected it would.

Then I washed it, lukewarm water and low dryer. IT SHRANK SO MUCH. My perfectly-fitting L is now a M at most, more like a S, and barely buttons up over my bust. Lost 2 inches over the shoulders, the waist rode up 2 inches and is sitting on the bottom of my bra, the hem's about 3-4 inches shorter than it was pre-wash and hits above mid-shin, the sleeves are about 2 inches shorter and bind on the elbow... I wish I'd taken before pictures, because the difference after wash is unbelievable, and unbelievably disappointing. I may re-order because it is such a pretty and comfortable dress, but if so, I'll be re-ordering XL or XXL. Ridiculous.

For reference and comparison: 135 lbs, 5'10", 36" bust.
