I received this dress yesterday and plan to wear it for my birthday. It is so light weight and soft. Perfect for the hot humid climate of our Texas summer. I ordered my true size, a large and I still have room to move freely while wearing it. I"m 5 feet 6 inches tall and wear a 36DD cup bra. The lenght is about 6 inches below my knees. I'm wating to see how it washes but don't anticipate any problems as it is polyester (97%) and spandex (3%). I recommend using the delicate cycle and hangingit up to air dry instead of using the dryer. It arrivied very wrinkled so I've hung it up and will probably spritz it with water and iron it before I wear it.
