I loved the dress me and my daughter go matching dress for a wedding shower since we are both in the wedding. I thought she looked adorable but she was not a fan of the puffy sleeves or shoulder things she like the elastic on her. We both sides down. I originally got her a size 14 but then we size down to 12. Honestly, we probably could’ve sized down one more. I followed the measurements but it’s such a stretchy fabric. You definitely could size down or one size.
