true to size (medium for me- 5’4” 150lbs) and comfortable. I am very pleased with this A line pleated flare dress. The cut is flattering and the overall construction feels well done. I ordered a size medium as I am normally an 8/10 and the medium worked well. One thing I especially appreciate is that it is modest while still looking polished. It feels like a complete outfit all on its own, which makes getting dressed simple. I am very happy with it and would recommend it.
