This is my first item ever ordered from leinashine. I was super nervous because I don't know any of the models or owner, but I heard about it through Alison Prince's podcast and decided to give it a try. I love my dress! For size reference, I am just under 5'4" and 145lbs, size 36c up top. I ordered a size medium in black, though I debated on the large. I am glad I got the medium. I am not hour glass shaped or pear shaped, I don't look like the models in these photos at all! I was not sure that the waist would truly be empire, and I was nervous that it would be too long. But, the dress just grazes the floor and it is a true empire shape and the sleeves are such a flattering cut! The fabric is a bit thinner than I expected, but it is sufficient. I love my Christmas present to myself!
