I LOVE this dress. It looks just like in the picture and has a very flattering silhouette. The fabric doesn't feel cheap either and I didn't notice any loose threads or issues in the construction. I'm a pear shape who's gained weight over the pandemic, so I don't know my \"normal\" size anymore, but I ordered a large initially and it was loose. But the medium fits perfectly and I feel GREAT in it! For reference, I'm probably a 12 or 14 pants now and a medium or large shirt (34DD) depending on manufacturer.
