conformed to the size chart and other reviews but was true to my size (not a size up as the reviews say). 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's 3 days left until the party that just isn't working out :( so incredibly sad but i just need to put something else together.
