Like a Sexy Picnic Mermaid
Wow. This DRESS! I was worried about the sizing because everyone's frames are so different, but I think a Medium was the best choice for me. I have a short torso, long legs, hourglass fig with a larger bust. The Medium was very form fitting but there's a nice amount of stretch in the fabric that you can sit down and still breathe. As you can see in the photo, there's some puckering at the buttons as a result, but nothing really gaped too badly. I was able to wear a bralette underneath. Love this dress!

Runs small.. but also large
I ordered a size down (I'm usually a M in fitted dresses, but can usually pull off a small if it's a looser fit) and it did not work. The straps are very long and I'm not sure how it would work for smaller frames. You'd either need to pair it with a tee shirt (which is cute!) or rock some deep cleave (which is also cute, but not what I was going for). What really disappointed me about this fit was it was SO tight on my hips and butt, but big everywhere else. I should have sized up and rocked the baggy look. Oh well!

A very sunshine-y mome
The details of this dress speak to the vintage enthusiast in me! I love the sleeves and ribbon ties. So cute. This dress is not form fitting, but the top is fitted enough to keep it from looking too slouch-y. It was a teeny-tiny bit see-through, so would recommend nude underwear or a mini-slip. I think pairing this maximalist style with some cheeky sneakers made the perfect convention outfit! Oh PS, the ruffles were EXTREMELY wrinkled upon arrival.

Cute in theory, tube-like in execution
I think this dress is great for expecting mommas and maybe a straighter body build. The torso of this dress is very tube-like and if you have a smaller waist and wider hips, it will be baggy. The top bodice is very small (height-wise) and not great for larger busts. On the plus side, it's super comfortable and stretchy! Wish the smocking on the torso would hug the body a little better instead of bunching outwards.
