I took my measurements with a measuring tape and used the guide. I'm an xl except for my waist which is why I sized up to flatter my silhouette. Plenty of room in the arms and it's short enough to be sexy but long enough that it doesn't ride up while walking. If you have a large bust like me it's perfect.

I’m 5”9, 230, 38DD, usually a size 14 in dresses and jeans. This dress fit perfectly and was so flattering! No stretch but you can adjust how tight you want the waist and there’s plenty of room in the arms. Length was perfect, short but still classy. I wore it with booties to a western dinner but would be so cute with heels for a bridal shower!
