This dress does not disappoint. I usually don’t feel comfortable or confident in my clothes, and this dress makes me feel so pretty and confident. The dress has pockets, the smocking is SO comfortable. And, for sizing, I’m 5’4” at 172lb and I went with an XL , and I’m so glad I did. It feels like the perfect fit for me, but I feel like you could definitely size down if you like a tighter fit, or if you’re smaller in the bust. I prefer the looser fit, as it’s more comfortable to me. I wish I could upload a photo. If you’re on the fence about this dress, just go for it. You won’t regret it. This is my second purchase from Hill House Home, and both dresses fit perfectly and are incredibly flattering.
