Buying a dress online is always such a gamble, especially if you're not typically a "dress girl". I bought this dress for a 1950's party, and I got so many compliments! I'm 5'5", 155 lb and 34D, size Large fit like a glove. Simple and well made. Definitely get a petticoat for underneath! The dress also irons really well with a sprayer. Wonderful product.
