This is my 3rd maxi dress I've bought for my summer holidays. I have this in an 16T, I typically wear a size 16/18 and I'm 5'11. It's probably the more subtle/least choice I'd probably go for usually but I really really like it. It's definitely on the bigger side, so you can probably afford to size down. I like this baggy for abroad holidays, so this was really nice and loose fitting. I added a belt just so I could have more of a shape which I wanted.It's a good length for me as the tall version and I've not noticed it shrinking in the wash and some of the other products I ordered. Overall, I'm happy with this one. Not my typical choice but it was the right one of this occasion!
