I love this dress. It fit as expected and is very comfortable. The skirt material is a little stiff which helps give it that flowy flared out look. I don't like showing my arms much so I paired it with a black cardigan. Perfect Spring/Summer dress for bridal or baby showers or just going out to dinner. I'm only 5 ft tall and this dress is the perfect length for short women, I usually have to hem everything up. I ordered a large and it fits perfect. I carry my weight in my hips/ thighs and butt area and this dress is very flattering.
