The cut of this dress is unflattering, on my body type. My bf said it looked like Grandma's curtains. The material is hard cotton, prone to wrinkling. I have a ruffled petticoat to wear under, but honestly, I look pregnant in this dress. Im a plus size girl and carry my weight in middle section. If your pear or apple shaped, this is awkwardly shaped. The arm opening are HUGE, as in you should have a sweater covering w you. I guess, if your into sewing there could be a project for you in this dress. I'm disappointed for sure. I will donate this dress, I had purchased it for my bd. It didn't work out.
