Hey Karen! We are so sorry to hear your items did not work out for you! Our model Madelyn is 5'5 and she generally wears a size small! We hand measure each garment we sell to try and ensure sizing issues like this don't happen- you can find these measurements under the sizing tab on each page! We here at Bella Ella Boutique try to stock great new seasonal items for each season, so sometimes we have to make seasonal items final sale to make room for those great new items! Thanks for your feedback, we love hearing from our customers!
