This dress is an exact dupe for the Baltic Born Katya Ruffle Maxi Dress. I purchased the navy in a size small. I'm 5' ¾" and the dress was not too long with heels. The slit opens up easily and I wore shorts under. I also did a single stich at the neckline as it kept falling open on me. These were all the same issues I had with the BB dress. Great quality for the price, well worth it!Bought and medium initially but ended up exchanging for a small. Still had to pin the neckline so it wouldn’t show my bra. Overall a pretty dress that was flattering for my occasion.This is a really beautiful dress. It is more of a milky white rather than a snowy white. The skirt is a wrap style skirt that is attached at the elastic waist band. The top is surplice style. It gives the illusion of a wrap and the deep v neck without it being a true wrap. I loved almost everything about this dress. The fabric is smooth and silky feeling. It feels luscious on the skin. It lays beautifully on the body and it is very forgiving for any lumps and bumps that you might have. You are going to look and feel fabulous wearing this dress. A couple of things that I do not care for. Oh, my goodness does this wrinkle. I spent a good while steaming it to get it looking perfect and you lean, just lean against something and it is wrinkled. The material flows spectacularly when you walk, like a model on a catwalk, you will need a breeze because if the air is still, you will suffocate because the skin and body cannot breathe. And I learned while steaming it, it stays damps for a bit. And the weight of the ruffle on the collar causes it to roll and look wonky. It will roll and show the underside of the dress. Even though I wanted to wear a deep v I needed to pin the top because the rolling of the collar bothered me way too much. Those are all very small issues for such a beautiful dress. I did get a large I could have probably gotten away with a med but I do like the fit and flow of the large. I am 5'8, 135 to 140 pounds, 36c bra. I may look into seeing if i can remove the ruffle and just having it in the surplice style.For reference, I'm 5'3 at 240 lbs and ordered the XL. This is an absolute instant favorite. It's long but I wasn't stepping over it even with my flats on, however it did get super dirty on the bottom. The slit on the side is subtle unless you hold it open. The v neck goes down enough to still be appropriate but shows enough to feel sexy. I wore this to a wedding and received so many compliments. It was super comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. It is dry clean only so that's a drag but I highly recommend this dress, it looks stunning!Very lightweight and flowy. Nice quality materials and looks to be made well. Fit is alright. It's a little looser on top, than expected, but not too noticeable. Love the style. It's elegant looking, but can be worn for almost any occasion.I was pleasantly surprised with this dress. It was very comfortable to wear and very flattering, this would be perfect for a beach photo shoot or a tropical vacation. I'm 5'5" 145lbs and I am wearing a medium. Note that it shows a lot of cleavage, (I wore a camisole underneath), and if the wind blows a little too hard it could show your underwear (wear shorts or a bikini under it).I wore this for a wedding and got so many compliments! It fits true to size, though the top was slightly big. If my busy was bigger it wouldn’t be an issue.
