My measurements are correct, and the waist runs about an inch bigger on me—but I actually prefer it that way since a tighter fit would be uncomfortable. I’m 5’2”, and this dress is perfect length-wise, covering everything I need. For taller girls, the cut might feel uneven (shorter in some spots, longer in others), but on me it works really well. The frill at the bottom has a structured material that makes it flow beautifully. Overall, absolutely worth the money!
