I was very nervous about ordering based on measurements as I've done it through other web stores and it's never fit! However, the measurements are dead on! I was so impressed with the material and cut. We bought this dress for our daughter's First Communion/Confirmation. We bought the pink sash for it as it's her favourite colour. And definitely get the ivory. The white would've been too white! The ivory is beautiful and soft, especially on a little 8-year-old. and 16 year-old My daughter's measurements were exactly 2 inches and Gorgeous dress, well made and my 2 girls felt like a princess
