I am 5’4” and weight 159lbs and the L fits me just right. It is a little tight around my mid-section cuz I have a little pudge so wearing a shape-wear underneath makes it more comfortable and look good. I do have a hard time with the zipper, I think I got a faulty one. But overall the dress is beautiful and looks just like the picture. I plan on wearing it to a fall wedding later this month.
