Great dress! It's super lightweight and very comfortable and flowy. I love the length. I should have ordered a size XL (size 16-18). I knew it was a very loose and baggy style dress from the waist down, and I'm a true pear shape. So i ordered a size XL (size 16-18). If you want a more fitted look, go by the chest and arm measurements.(5'8,180lbs)
I'm still going to get a skinny belt to make my waist more defined and get the dress some more flattering shape, but it's perfect to wear as it is around the house!
