This dress fits like a dream, and it's actually just as pretty and feminine in person as it looks in the picture.  I wore it to go to a tea party where we watched a royal wedding on TV, and it got rave reviews!  It's so nice to have a party dress for special occasions!  I am 5'3" and usually wear a size 2 or 4, and the extra small fit me just fine (maybe a touch snug in the waist.)
