Bought this dress in two sizes because the wonderful ad for the dress let me know it was a form-fitted dress and one may want to order the next size up. THANK YOU for letting me know as I did NOT have time to get the dress, find it too small, and reorder. The dress was so reasonably priced, I ordered purple-trimmed in a medium and a large (I normally wear a medium) and the large fit me perfectly, still body skimming but in a tasteful, wear it to work way. Washed it in cold and hung it up to dry. Love This Dress!! Get you one!!
