I'm usually a small/medium (depending on the dress) and reading the reviews I made the plunge to buy large and it was a great idea! It was a bit too big, but I just went to work for about a half hour on taking three inches off the hem and two inches off the waist and it looks like it was made for me. It got loads of compliments, was cozy to wear and I actually felt pretty in it! Can't wait to wear it agin next year!
