I am very pleased with this dress.  It is true to size by size chart.  I am 5 ' 3" and 160 lbs and the dress fits perfectly for body proportions.  It was a little long so I did hem it by about 4 inches so it now comes to my shin/ankle bone.  I feel the length of this dress is a personal choice therefore is subject to personal taste regarding whether it needs to be hemmed.  Overall, I am very pleased with this dress and I Love the colors and the botice fit is perfect. It is figure flattering: I have a rather large stomach and the dress drapes nicely without accentuating my stomach.  Plan to buy another color when back in stock.
