Because the material appears stretchy I was afraid that ordering based off of the size chart would leave me with a dress that is still too big- Not at all the case! I ordered an XL and it fits perfectly. With the stretch I might’ve been able to go L but I doubt I would’ve been as comfortable as I am in the dress now. The measurements in the size chart were super accurate to my own measurements. It is also absolutely gorgeous and exactly how I imagined. The draping is fantastic and so flattering and the corset detail makes me feel super secure in it. The slit is hiiiiiiigh though- But the extra fabric around it makes it so I’m not afraid of any accidents happening there. All in all a beautiful product, well worth the price. I already have 3 occasions planned to wear this dress to!
