The dress is true to size. Warning, it's not short girl friendly. I am 5 feet and had to get a significant hem for my 4 inch heels.

I bought this beautiful dress for my daughter to wear on the homecoming court and it was perfect. She's a curvy girl so this really worked out. The dress is of good quality and was beyond my expectations with the make. I had to take it to a seamstress to get the split sewn a little bit because my daughter is only 16 and she was even amazed at the quality of the gown. She got so many compliments in this that she was blushing the whole night. I definitely recommend this dress!
