This costume is a deluxe version of a princess dress. It is very beautiful and well worth the cost. Nice quality and better than I expected.  It does run a little small - I am a size 4-6 and ordered a medium and the medium didn't fit-I couldn't get it zipped up! It wasn't for me, but I thought if it fit me it would fit who I bought it for. The Large was snug in the waist, big in the bust, and the rest was very roomy.  I think if you are tall and long it would fit differently, with short people i think you need a larger size.  Runs long too - so expect to need to adjust the length if you are 5'5" or under. We came up with a good solution for the length which was to bring up the hem kind of like "belle's" ball gown - and add little pink roses at each place we put a pintuck.  The fabric is very nice, the workmanship is excellent - just expect the fit to need some work. It comes with a very full petticoat that is great quality too. The gloves are nice, the tiara is junk - I just ordered a nice wedding tiara on Amazon's site.
