This is such a classy, elegant and beautiful dress!! I was skeptical to order my daughter's prom dress and have it shipped from China but I took the chance since this is the one she really liked. I was then hesitant on sizing due to reviews. I measured my daughter; 32.5" bust, 25.5" waist, (hips don't really matter on this one)... We reviewed the sizing chart and ordered a 2 (her measurements put her at a size 2 on most of the sizing charts but typically a 2 fits her too snug or not at all). It took about 5 weeks to get here, but still made it a few days before the estimated shipping dates. When it arrived, she tried it on and it fit beautifully with about 1/2" to spare at the waist. I did make a couple alterations. My daughter is 5'2 (5'5 with heels) so it had to be hemmed by about 4"-5". Additionally, the zipper on the back was a little loose, so when she leaned over, it would unzip (not at all my idea for my daughter!) I put 2 bra-type hooks in the back to secure the top so it didn't come unzipped and also used them to bring in the waist the 1/2" without sewing it. I didn't mark down for the alterations because hemming is a given at her height and the hooks I put in the back took me about 10 minutes. It is stunning and she got so many compliments on it... she came home from prom on cloud 9. I'm a very happy mom!
