I am 5'8" and about 150lbs, a 34e, 28in waist, 38in hips, 42in around the widest part of my butt and an inseam of 33 works best for me. I usually wear a medium to large and in bottoms usually wear a 7-10.
To start, I love this dress, and I think it was a great buy. I bought the blue option and thought it was true to the color I expected.
For size I got a medium and it fits me pretty well. It is adjustable slightly with the 2 different ties it has. It ties much like a robe has the thin inner tie for extra "security." That tie is a very thin ribbon like string. The tie on the inside is tucked away and even while moving around and wearing it, it did not come open. The layers wrap well and keep together well. You can tie that part as tight or lose as you need, as it will hit you about at your waist or at least that is the idea. It truly depends on if I am wearing a bra, but usually hits me slightly above the waist/at the lowest part of my breasts (if that makes sense.) It has a deeper v, so I do find myself grabbing a cute bra, or at least one that works with how low it is, but otherwise you could wear something under it like a camisole or a tank and it would be fine.
The reason I gave this only 4 stars is because if you are bustier, and you tighten the inner tie, tight, it is noticeable from the front when you are wearing the dress. It basically just pulls it in a random spot, and you get a sort of lose bit of fabric. It falls under the bust, so it does help give a ruching effect, but the only way to avoid it is to tie it slightly looser. Keep in mind, that will open up the deep v even more. You can see how it makes the dress hang slightly further away from my body in my second picture. Even though it is tightened a the way, it still doesn't fully hug my body right under my left breast, because it is a second layer with a string, not a drawstring. I hope that makes sense!
The fabric feels nice, and the dress feels good for the price. It's thin enough that you can see my nipples if I should go braless, but with the pattern, and a jean jacket, I honestly don't care. Don't be discouraged by the plunge of the v, because this dress is really adorable. I had a friend try on the same dress, she usually wears a small, and is a 34b, and it fit her body very beautifully. We both agreed it was very flattering, and the dress didn't look huge on her at all. Not sure what the small is like, but she could have potentially done the medium for a more flowy option like when she tried on mine. But it seemed like if she wanted the same fit as me, she would maybe need to try the small.
If I buy another color, I might get a large just so it fits a bit different and gives a bit more material on the bust. Not because I don't like this one, but I just think it would be fun to try a slightly different fit and give me that same flowy, more darling look it gave her. My husband said out was the perfect Sunday dress. We love Sunday's in this house. Ha!
I love this dress a lot.
As for length, it is good, and hits at about mid-thigh. Also, I usually have to find bottoms that hit under my butt and go closer to the leg, otherwise they stick out away from my leg too far making it to where my cheeks can be seen just by how much it is sticking out (if ya have the same problem, ya know exactly what I am talking about) and with the the hem, or ruffle? at the bottom of the dress, it starts right under my butt, and it actually works SO well. The flowy ruffle effect makes It to where my butt stays covered, and still showing off my nice figure. What I like is that it doesn't hug my butt so much that it is distracting as it tends to be, bit it still sits so nicely that you can see I have an ass. Ha! It is flirty, and cute, and can be dressed up or down. I am a mom of 3, and I feel comfortable wearing this while doing stuff with them or a holiday dinner with family, but also could see myself going on a date in it! Love it! Hope this helps.
