I really love this dress! For reference, I am 5’6” and 142 pounds, and I bought a 10 and a 12 to try on. The 12 fits a little loose in the body (which is ok by me!) and the sleeve length is too long. I am planning on losing weight for my son’s wedding in 3 months, so the 10 may work better. I actually need an 11. Haha! I have purchased 11 (yes, 11) dresses so far and this is the first one that is the perfect length. I will be wearing flats, but even with a small heel, the length would be fine. All the others were 4-5 inches too long, so then you have to factor in the cost of alterations. This may be “the one!”
