"I'm normally between a 6 and 8 and based on reviews, I got this dress in an 8. However, it was too big around the waist and wasn't very flattering. IIm about 5'6 145. I tried to exchange for a 6 but they were sold out. Anyway, the dress is of very good quality and the fringe detail was great. I do think that the way the fringe lifts in the back is a little weird and the cream upper half of the dress is a bit splotchy but overall it was a very cute dress that I wish they would make some more of!!! :)"
