Fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it, but couldn’t gauge what size to get because there weren’t any reviews, so I did so much research before picking a size. I read dress details on other retailers’ websites, and the notes were all over the place—it either ran large, small, or was true to size. I read Staud ran small, so I looked up their size chart and ordered according to my measurements, which ended up being a medium. It was too big! The dress is flowy from the bust downward and has elastic in the back where the straps are, so I wish I had ordered according to bust size instead of waist size. The bust was too big on me, but the straps are adjustable so I criss-crossed them to get a tighter fit and it fit so much better. My school doesn’t require caps and gowns for graduation, so I wanted something comfortable, dramatic, and easy to walk in. I wore about 4 in. platform heels and didn’t have any trouble with the length of the dress. I loved wearing this dress so much and got so many compliments!
