I really like this dress. It fits great and is so beautiful the way it is flowey on the bottom. It is a great length. I am a pear shape, 5’9” tall, a 31” waist in jeans, 38D bust size, and a size 12. It is so nice how this dress is an empire waist and is still fitted but slowly flares into its A-line. It is a very low cut on the bust part so I put a lacy cami under the dress. It does not stretch with your bust so I ordered the size according to my bust size, which was the size 14. I was afraid it might be too big but It still fit great in the waist. A size up was a good thing. The material is soft and flows nice. It is a great dress for the ballet, graduation, a party, or just dinner out.
