I already have a Megan dress but liked the idea of a more fitted option. Elle is a great addition to my wardrobe - will be easy to dress up or down. I actually sized up in this style - normally have a 16 in Ivy styles with an oversized fit, but found the size 16 in Elle a bit too clingy. Sized up and the fit is great - still fitted but skims my lumps and bumps. Got the regular length which is full length for me (5’ 6”). Thank you Ivy for another great quality staple item, I know I will get a lot of wear out of this.
