I purchased the dress size taking under consideration the reviews - in retrospect, I wish I would’ve. I’m 5’2 120 pounds and I’m usually a size 4 (small), and, I ordered it a Medium size because the reviews said it ran small - it actually runs big. it is bunched up in the front because it’s too big and the top area it’s big as well. The dress itself it’s really pretty and the fabric it’s nice too.
