I bought size small. The skirt portion of the dress is very short (I am 5ft 4"). The top portion fit strange - it is very open and revealing. It also felt too tight along the upper back - I couldn't even pull and pin the front. A size medium would have fit better (34 B-C bra, size 27 jeans, athletic). The models are definitely wearing a bigger size than indicated to achieve the fit in the photo. The belt was already missing beads when the dress arrived. Due to the need to tighten the belt and make a bow, more beads would eventually break off over time. The belt also had much less material (shorter) than the photo so it didn't make a draping bow like you see - which also makes me think the models are not wearing a size small but probably a medium. Obviously I returned this dress.

the problem is the fully beaded sleeve, it's too heavy to keep dropping shoulder line down. i want to return it.
