I’m 5’3” about 135lbs and usually get a small, but the dress was boxy around the waist. the glove seams ripped and BOTH straps popped right before my event. we tried to reinforce it but it broke even more and even worse and I had to keep my coat on since the dress was too big and I was gonna have a wardrobe malfunction. plus the velvet leaves black fuzzy lint everywhere. bad all around. next time use regular straps and embellish them with the beads, cuz the bead chains are extremely weak. they broke while sitting in the car. I wasn’t even moving!!
