I bought this dress to wear with a thick black belt, sweater and high heals for a party in January. Now I plan to wear it for eater as well. It fits true to size.(use the size chart it works!) I am 5'4" and ordered a UK size 12 and the lenght is a little long but if you wear a petticoat with it the length is perfect. I plan to get it hemmed up an inch so I can waer it without a petticoat too.
