I ended up purchasing a medium and Im glad I did. I LOVE THIS DRESS! I wore it for my 26th birthday and received endless compliments the entire night. It was extremely comfortable too! The pasties that came with this was nude colored so I purchased pasties that matched my skin tone elsewhere. I have nothing negative to say about this dress. I wanted to try something different and sexy and this was it for sure! It looks just like the photos here. Im 57 and wear medium dresses, size 8 jeans for the most part, size 6/8 tops. This dress is true to size. Looks more pricey than what you spent on it too! #win
