Beautiful and the material is beautiful

I loved the dress but had to return it. I'm 5'5" and 150lbs and pear shapesd. I usually wear M but I ordered a large because some reviews say it runs small. The large was huge on me. So I exchanged it for a M. The M was too tight on my hips but very loose at the top. I could have had it altered but didn't feel like being bothered. I returned the M as well. I was upset because the dress is pretty.
