This dress is fantastic. Shipping was very good. I ordered my a size medium (I am a 34D and size 9 jean and the fit is perfect) and it arrived in 5 days (which is pretty fast coming from CA to the east coast). This costume is very flattering, especially if you have a little bit of a belly. There is a lot of material in the chest region, but this can easily be altered by adjusting the halter ties around the neck. The elastic around the waist is a little tight which may make love-handles stick out a little more than what would ideally be desirable, but the back is SUPER SEXY which definitely makes up for it. I am 5'2" and the dress covers my toes (but if I'm wearing sandals it doesn't drag on the ground). The arm band is a little cheesy and is a bit tight (unless you have sticks for arms). The other reviews are correct in that the fabric feels thick and warm for a cold night. If you decide not to wear a bra with this costume (I recommend not wearing one), the fabric is thick enough to hide your nips! Which can be a plus or minus depending on how you look at it ;) I definitively think this costume is better suited for a voluptuous woman rather than a thinner girl.
