I love this dress! For the price it is more than I expected; definitely a steal. Ordered according to the size chart and it fit perfectly, the only down side is the length of the straps. If you're doing any dancing in this dress they will constantly fall down, but it's an easy fix. I'm 5'4" and the hem of the dress hit just above my knee. And the fit of the bodice lets you wear the dress without a bra and you won't have to worry about the dress gapping. However, that may be more of an issue if your measurements aren't close to the size chart. Out of the box, you'll need to iron it, but it looks great and the color is perfect, a little darker than the picture, but I think it looks better....
