This is my 2nd dress from revelry, 3rd time using it (once as a bride) and im a happy customer once again. The burnout velvet is stunning, and the Jade silhouette is ultra flattering. I had a baby two months before needing to order this, so had truly no idea what size i would be. I did home try on for some other styles and figured out which numerical size fit in those, then used the measurement chart to translate that to this dress. It just arrived and it fits perfectly everywhere except up top (which is always the case for me), but thats a minor alteration. I am 54 and the petite length is perfect with 2 heels. This fabric does not have stretch so you need to ensure it fits the widest part of your body when you measure.
