Conformed to the size chart and other reviews but was true to my size (not a size larger than the reviews stated). it's way too big! I LOVE the pattern and I think the dress will be very cute. if it fits. Was insanely pumped up to wear to my Christmas party at work but sadly will be returning. would love to just trade it in but there are 3 days left until the party which just won't work :( so incredibly sad but i just have to put something else together.
