Size up if you’re unsure! Great buy
I never leave reviews but decided to on this. I’m 5’6’’, 148 lbs, 36D chest and the XL fit like a dream. I am top and middle heavy, so it’s hard to find things that fit well but aren’t too tight or too loose in the wrong places. I’m probably sitting at a size 8 dress right now. This is perfect with even a little stretch if I needed it. It’s beautiful in person and perfect for a traditional Chinese tea or even wedding ceremony if you’re keeping it simple! It’s flattering and sexy without showing too much. The pearl like buttons are also a nice touch. Love love love and a great price! 10/5 stars!

Go two sizes up
Beautiful dress that fit nicely. But it was hard to guess how to translate “Asian size” to “American size.” So go TWO sizes up. I’m usually a XS to S and size 4 in the US and had to get a Large. Also, as a cultural note to non-Chinese folks, DO NOT wear the red dress to a wedding because it’s considered a bridal outfit, both in color and style. But dress is otherwise great for a random event.

Cant beat the price but a little see through
This item arrived pretty quickly; I know sometimes items from China take a long time to arrive in the US.Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase; the price is good for what I got. My only small complaint is that the pink fabric is definitely a bit see through. I could see my underwear through the dress when I tried it on. But I suppose this isn’t something swearing pantyhose wouldnt solve. But just a heads up.Overall the sizing info they provide is accurate. They recommended for me to do an XL but Im glad I stuck with the 2XL size. Im wider in my hips compared to my waist and bust and it might not have fit over my hips (while putting it on) if I had sized down. It is unfortunate that it’s a little baggier in the bust and waist area but hey, it’s not a custom sized dress, it cant be perfect.For the record, I usually wear M-L in US sizes depending on the material. I would say this dress isnt super stretchy but it’s not super form fitting either.

The color was not the same!
This is a cute dress but the color is a lot brighter, more like red/orange, than pictured. I was very disappointed because I wanted to avoid going to the mall to buy a red dress, but now that's my only choice. When I return this dress and get my refund, it will be too late to reorder something else. Plus, with this not being the right color, I'd prefer to see the red in person.

You get more than you paid for!
This is an amazing gown. As a Hong Konger, I'd have never thought I could get a good quality gown from Amazon. I so have very high standard when it comes to Chinese traditional apparels. However, this gown fits perfectly on my wife and made with good materials.On top of that, great customer service. The seller contacted me to confirm the size since their size guide is different from Amazon. If you're not sure, like me, they will give suggestions and guide you through it. Truely Amazing!

Great summer dress :)
I needed the dress for an occasion coming up in a few weeks, given the fact the seller is in Shanghai and I am in San Francisco, CA, I was concerned. The seller was quick to respond to all my questions and gave me instructions on how to pay for expedited shipping. They even triple check with me on my measurements to make sure large fits (after I ordered). I got it a lot faster than I expected (ordered July 14, got it July 20)!I am 135 lbs, 5' 7", with measurements slightly under Large sizes. My hips are larger but with the A-line dress, I risked it. The large is a bit loose but still a good fit. Thin fabric, good for summer time, The lace top is not connected to the under layer. The buttons in front don't work. Because of my large hip, I have to wear it from top down haha

Asian Sizes Are Much Smaller than US Sizes
First off, Chinese sizes are significantly smaller than US sizes. I'm a fit 5'3" at ~145lbs. It's basically difficult to buy women's shirts because a size big enough to fit my shoulders leaves my torso swimming in the excessive space.I got this dress in a 3XL. I usually size up to a XL or 2XL when buying clothes from China, but I based this choice off of my shoulders measurement and compared it to the size chart. Lo and behold, it fit my shoulders perfectly. Length reached my ankles. I just had to have a seamstress take in a couple inches at the waist. I was a little worried about the sleeves, but the seamstress actually had to take those in too.

Really beautiful dress
This is a great dress. I took off one star because I went up a size and it was still very close fitting. Buying clothes with Asian sizing is risky.
