This costume is great! Everything about it is great! The best part is that the dress can be worn all by itself as a summer dress or evening dress. The velcro on the belt was put at an odd angle, but it can be worked. Greatest purchase I've made in costumes and the head piece is really pretty and put together nicely. For sizing, I'm at the large end of a small and the small end of a medium, so I ordered the medium and it's a perfect fit, but I wouldn't want to be any bigger in this dress. I hope that's helpful for anyone worried about size.
