Bought this as a bride to be; we’re planning a casual sundress type celebration as opposed to anything overly fancy, but I have had this dress in my list for years and it didn’t disappoint. First, this is actually true to size. I am 5’0”, 145lbs on a good day, and I’m always afraid to buy a medium because some brands too small, but then a large will run way too big. I got the medium, and I feel like I have room to move around without compromising the shape of the dress, which hugs the right places but isn’t tight on any curves. The low part of the dress does just barely sweep the ground behind me without heels, so I added a 1.5 inch and it’s perfect for me. The zipper and all the materials definitely seem quality on this dress. Highly recommend.
