I normally wear a 1X, but I got the 2X. It fits Okay. It's a bit shorter than I'd like, tho, but honestly, it's about the same length as shown on model. I think the dress is prettier in the photo than in person. I'll keep it, tho, because I can wear it around the house. It does remind me of an old ladie's house dress in real life.  I washed it in the washer, and hung it to dry. The part around the neck did NOT turn out well! It has a million 1/2" to 1" threads sticking out all over it!! I'm going to have to take the scissors to it before I can wear it.  So I suggest to anyone reading this to NOT wash it in the washer (as it states). Wash it by hand .
