The dress looks from the cut and the color of her exactly as illustrated. The fabric is very light, good for the summer. One must note that the dress comes from England - which means that variables can otherwise turn out! I usually wear 36, in clothing from England but sometimes even 38 or even 40! Bin 1.60m and rather narrow and slim - and the dress fits well, but for larger women determined almost a little too short (too short for me would be a mini-dress).
