I always go up one size just in case it runs small and because I like loose comfort. This dress fits me just right with plenty of room below my bust where the dress begins to flow bigger, but if you are well endowed in the bust (I'm a 40B) it might be snug. The sleeves were not snug on me but not a lot of room left. The empire style top hits me just below my bust. I'm 5'5", 165lbs, and I got the xl. It is well constructed. I'm tempted to get another.

I love the dresses, they are cute, flowy, cool, very comfortable and can be worn appropriately to many different functions. I get so many compliments, "I love your dress, what your wearing is so cute, where did you get your dress." For those who got a bad dress, just send it back and you can reorder. I myself have had that problem, everyone does at one time or another, I just return it and reorder and most of the time I get what I want.

I really like my denim dress. Fits had expected light weight but not chinsy pretty shade of denim.

The perfect thing to wear when the weather is just so hot and miserable. Loose and flowing allowing air to circulate inside and under dress.

What a fantastic dress! The sleeves are comfortable and roomy, the neckline is flattering, and the fabric is so light and airy. Obviously, the best part is the pockets. And they’re DEEP pockets, too! The fit is loose but the skirt is perfectly puckered so I don’t feel like a tent. I will be buying more patterns and living in these dresses year round in hot-as-hell Miami.
I’m 5’4 and 150 lbs, 34DD. The M was is the perfect fit for me!
