I wanted to love this dress so much and couldn't! The material is very thin and would likely be nearly see through when worn, which for the cost I'd expect higher quality cotton. I anticipated it would fit large based on the silhouette, but it's longer than I anticipated and even with cinching has a bulky appearance. For reference, I'm 5'5", about 140 lbs with a pear shape—slender frame and bodice and wider hips—and I ordered an XS. Uncinched, the XS regular hit at the knee and was rather baggy, cinched it hit nearly mid thigh but still bulky in shape.
