Where am I going wrong?

I feel like I've put the label above the radio element exactly how they asked and the same way they taught in the video. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Thanks!

I believe you should move the whole "shirt size:" portion under the closing tag </select>, since the <select> portion belongs to the dropdown menu of "shirt color:"

Frances Tang is correct in her answer, but if you are anything like me seeing the code visually drives it home. Below is the code I used for this challenge.

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>

      <label>Shirt Size:</label>
      <label for="small">Small</label><br>
      <input type="radio" id="small" name="shirt_size" value="small">
      <label for="medium">Medium</label><br>
      <input type="radio" id="medium" name="shirt_size" value="medium">
