This dress is really gorgeous, really fun and beautifully made. i'm typically an 8petite (140lbs, 5'4", 34dd) so i got this in an 8 and it was huge on me. there was so much extra room in the chest and the back and it was much too long for me. even if i sized down, it feels a little age inappropriate for me. i'm 21, and it felt very conservative and unflattering.  i think this dress is excellent, just not for me.
