May want to size down depending on body type
This dress is typical April Cornell quality. But there is a lot of fabric on the sides because of the two layers and pockets. I have a smaller waist and bigger bottom. I ordered an XL and should have gone to a large, but have a seamstress in the family who will alter it and take the pockets our for more streamlined lined sides that don't bunch up when you tie it in the back. Over all love the dress enough to do the extra work.

The dress of the summer!
I was genuinely surprised at how gorgeous this dress is. The print is delicate without being twee, the color is a true pale purple/lilac shade, and the embellishments on the bodice are excellent quality and really lovely. And it's very flattering--the pleating creates nice shape even before using the ties to customize it, and I LOVE that wide flounce and how the skirt swishes. This is absolutely the dress of the summer for me. The only way it could be better is if there was a version that had short/elbow-length sleeves. :)
