This dress is absolutely stunning! Adjustable tie at the bodice, comfortable sleeves that stay up, pockets, lined, nicely weighted fabric & a stunning color. For sizing, I took one size up from my Ellie, so I would say this is true-to-size (I got an XS in this, 34B, 125 lbs, 5'5"). The red is a smidge darker in person than the website photos, but it's a lovely color for fall.
