The dress is very well made. I bought a size 6 for my daughter who normally wears a size 4 and it fit perfectly. Be aware though if ordering as a bridesmaid dress order the dresses as one order. My daughter ordered hers seperately as did the other 4 girls and they came in 2 shades of the coral. It was noticeable, but it was too late by then. The girls didn't try their dresses on together until the rehearsal the day before.
