I went up a size thinking it would be larger through the skirt and it is, but also longer causing a tripping hazard because I am only 5'2"! It is also longer through the sleeves. They do stretch! I now have 3 of these dresses in different colors because I love them so much! They are warm and oh so comfortable against the skin! I got so many compliments when I wore the Rusty Brown/Orange one on Thanksgiving. I bought some vests to wear with them to change them up.
