I am thin with a small bust and normally wear a size 4 in dresses. The size 4 fit me perfectly up top, but was inappropriately short to wear as a dress, which is not apparent from the picture. In addition, the skirt fits very tight on the thighs (as opposed to the flare shown in the picture). Fortunately, the skirt is tight enough that I was able to throw a black pencil skirt on top of it and make it work. If you are tall, this dress is likely not going to work for you!
