I purchased a few dresses to have on hand for wedding/grad season. The color is a vibrant orange and looked gorgeous next to my deep brown skin tone. I am 5”5’ around 160 lbs with athletic build. Waist 26in, hips 41in. I usually wear small in tops and small/medium in bottoms. I ordered a small in this dress and it fit perfectly. The slit doesn’t do too much but will show plenty of leg just like the photo. Only complaint I had was the wrinkles on the dress. I was very afraid to iron it because it looked like the iron was affecting the shine on the dress so I wore it slightly wrinkled. Maybe having a steamer on hand could help with this issue.
