10-24-18 UPDATE: This dress held up very well at school with no issues (and yes, she received extra credit!). It is still hanging in my daughter’s closet (unlike other costumes/prom dresses we’ve purchased) because it is still in excellent condition.———While I say it is somewhat large, it is not excessively so. It is actually more between 'fit as expected' and 'somewhat large'. I ordered a medium for my daughter (5'8, 130 lb) and it fit her almost perfectly. A little looser (meaning, not skin tight) and a little longer than expected. The 'little longer than expected' was a positive as this costume was to be for her to get extra credit at school. The skirt in the picture shows it a little shorter than I think would have been allowed for regular skirts in school, so the fact it was a little longer than the picture is a good thing!While it came packaged in a plastic bag, the quality was much better than I expected for the price. It does not seems as though the fringe will be falling off, which is good.The dress is slightly low in back, but not excessively so and the front is pretty modest. The straps of the dress have fringe on them (didn't notice it in the pics).Overall, very impressed with the quality of this product for the price. Very good value.Will update with how well it wore while my daughter was at school. She has to wear it to school for a 'prohibition party' in a class, so I will know exactly how well it holds up.
