I wasn't sure how this dress would be sized, so i ordered it in two different sizes and kept the smaller one. i would say it does run a little bit large, but not much.
i agree with other reviewers that the dress came kind of wrinkled, but overall the dress is like it was pictured. 
i think that this dress might be better for taller women - i am 5'8", and i think it fits well, but i could see how it would not be flattering if i were much shorter. overall, i am excited to wear this!
