I took the advice of the reviews and sized up which was good (Usually a 12 and purchased a 14). Having sized up it fit well (besides being a bit long, I am 5'5") and I enjoyed wearing it. I wore this as a bridesmaid comparing it to one of the other bridesmaids dresses the color was the same but the sequins were a lot sparser (if you see the dress to the left in the picture it looks darker but thats because it has more sequins). Some sequins have fallen off and the hem had loose threads. Overall it was comfortable but ater wearing it for about 12 hours my arms were a bit scratched from the sequin but I think that happens with all sequins dresses. However, for the price I think it is a good product!
