For the price, the quality of this dress is quite good. but what makes this a 5-star dress is the hidden tummy control panel. It's absolutely fabulous. I'm 57 years old, 5'3" tall, 178 lbs and a size 16 petite. I ordered the XL, and it fits like a dream. I won't have to wear the tummy control undergarment I'd planned because the dress itself does the job. I now have a defined waistline--something missing from my figure since menopause. ;-)
