Dress is an 8 Petite. It's very flattering/slimming I'd say and hangs nicely. Fabric stretches just a little. Light padding in bust area. Beaded around the bodice front and back. Hidden back zipper. I'm 5 2 and a 1/2 and honestly can't remember if I had it hemmed but that would have been the only alteration.
