I really love the look of this dress -- it was sophisticated and very flattering. When I got the dress, it looked like it was in pretty good condition -- there were no stains or snares and looked like it was only worn a few times prior. I got both an XS and S -- I normally can't fit into a size S dress, but would have been fine wearing the S in this dress because it was meant to be a little more saggy on top and the bottom was still form fitting but just a little longer. I was actually going to wear the S because it wasn't as short, but the zipper on the back was pretty stiff and it ended up making me look like a hunchback because my torso was too short for the S. My only complaint was that dress was very short, even though I'm only 5 foot even -- I can't imagine just how short it is on taller women. I know it's not like it didn't fit because I'm super curvy (because I'm not) and because it's the wrong size, since I am normally a size XS (24 in waist). I ended up spending the whole evening pulling on the edges of the dress and avoiding raising my arms, because it would have made the skirt rise up 3 inches. With the skirt pulled down in the right position, it hit about an inch higher than my fingertips. So my recommendation would be to definitely get backup dress a size bigger than your normal size just in case.
