Runs just a touch big. If you're between sizes, go with the smaller of the two.

I wouldn't say there was all that much quality to the dress, but it was very comfortable once you got it on. Getting it on, however, was a bit of a struggle because there were no zippers or other closures to help slip it over your hips/chest and the material didn't give (not a stretchy cotton!). There was a bit of elastic at the very top back seam between the straps, but not enough to make a difference. Once I did get it over my curves (bottom or top half - I tried both ways with quite a bit of effort and I'm NOT a big girl...size 4 - 6!) it didn't fit my wastline as much as it shows in the pic probably because it needed to be roomy in order to force it over the rest of me. Once on, it was comfy for a hot summer night AND I did get a lot of compliments on the overall design of the dress. BUT...you get what you pay for. I didn't pay a lot so i can't complain...just wanted everyone else to be aware of what you might run into.

This is a really cute dress and you can't beat the price, but it does have some practicality issues. There's no zipper so you have to wrestle it over your head. This can be a very tight squeeze as the top is somewhat tight and I asked for help getting it off. The straps are adjustable with clear plastic rings that don't seem very sturdy. The top edge on the back of the dress has a bit of elastic, but it's not much stretch for a dress with no zipper. There's no built in bra and it's not very practical for a strapless bra either. All that being said, this dress is super cute and I made it work by slipping a pair of bra cups in after I wrestled it on and it was fitted enough to secure them in place.

Nice cotton material! great summer dress. The bust area is a bit small, and there is no zipper, so somewhat of a challenge to get on and off, but a great dress
