I love this dress. The length for was perfect, not too long to make me look short, and not too short that I need to be careful. The sleeves are flowy and flattering. I was worried about the band of smocking at my waist, that it would accentuate the unflattering part of my back that's below my bra line, but it was fine. I had enough room in the chest and shoulders, and it never felt tight or rippled. The material is light and flows.
I ordered a large. I'm 5'4\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" and 168lbs.
