I wanted to love this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and I love the look and feel of the polka dot sateen. Unfortunately the proportions weren't great on me. I'm petite (5'3) and smaller up top, and I found that the high neck and full sleeves made me look top heavy and shorter. For someone with different proportions or a little more height, this will be beautiful! I got my true size (S), one size up from what I wear in Ellie, and the waist and hips fit perfectly.
