I bought a Margot dress last year and loved it so much I wanted another one. The one I bought this year is sized for an Amazon. I'm 5' tall and thin and I bought an XS ... last year it fit perfectly. I had to have the skirt on the new one shortened 3 inches and the straps taken up a lot, plus the sides taken in at the arms for gapping in the one I got this year. I definitely haven't shrunk, and I'm sad that they've altered their sizing so much! They're splendid dresses, but I had to pay as much to have it altered as I did to buy it :(

I couldn't agree more... I'm 5'2" and I bought the XS. I liked the length (just above knee) but the straps were way too long and I had to take the dress in at the arms quite a bit as well. So unless you are a body builder or swimmer with nice muscular arms and shoulders, be prepared to do some sewing. The alterations were easy to do and I now LOVE my dress and it works for all sorts of occasions.
