I ordered a size 2 and it was only a little big around the mid-drift area. Otherwise, the dress looks just like the picture. It's slightly more gold than it appears but still super similar. The material is actually pretty thick too, so you don't gave to worry about tearing. The "sleeves" appear to be itchy but once you try it on they really aren't. I'm 5'2" and it hangs perfectly on me, so for you taller folks, I'd suggest getting a larger size than what you really are. This dress even has padding so you don't need to worry about wearing a strapless bra or pasties with it. I recommend this dress
