I loved this dress, it was gorgeous, but the fit was a little tighter than expected. I am a true 12, and at 5'9, I knew I'd need the long size! The waist was tight, making the bodice do weird things and I had to keep pulling the dress down. The bottom of the dress just brushed the floor when I was barefoot, and I couldn't wear the shoes I'd planned on wearing because it raised the dress up off the floor too much. All in all though, I enjoyed it, and would wear it again if I were 10 pounds less!
