Size up and it's perfect!
For something more fitted like this I would usually take a small but so happy I went with medium, the small would have been a true bodycon dress, whereas in the medium the skirt is still a little flippy. Definitely runs small (like most reformation) and material is thin, will show any bra indents or anything so be aware, but you could also layer a cardigan over to help with that/to make it a more daytime appropriate look!

Nice dress, runs big!!
I usually size up to a 6 for things that have a zip in back and are meant to be fitted bc I have a larger chest, but this 6 fit like a potato sack, not only way too big in the body but in the sleeves as well. I think a 4 would have been perfect, not too clingy but not like I was wearing someone else's dress! The quality of the dress is nice though, the material is thicker without being too heavy to wear in warmer climates/if you run hot, and the built in slip with lace trim is a nice touch!

Cute + comfy way to try out the puffy sleeve trend!!
The top bit is comfortably loose on my larger chest, and the skirt has a ton of stretch, so I think this is a pretty true medium. If I was smaller chested a small would have been plenty big. The puff sleeves are adorable and you can adjust them for a few different looks, and the looser top/fitted skirt is so flattering! Fair warning though, there is definitely a split in opinion on this dress - girls think it's cute, guys want to know why on Earth my sleeves are so ginormous !

Cute but small/short!!!
I'm 5'3" so at the tall end of the petite range, and this is definitely short on me - I think for anyone taller than me, size up considerably (and risk it being baggy rather than fitted) or else it will look more like a tunic than a dress unfortunately. I don't mind short, and thought this was super cute with over the knee boots, tights, and a coat. Only con is the material does get itchy after a bit if you have sensitive skin!
