I gave this dress 5 stars because it was better than expected for the price. I ordered 2: 1 in white and 1 navy pattern and I honestly might order more. These are exactly what I was looking for for maxi dresses. Im so over the cold shoulder trend and I wanted something that wasn't strapless or uncomfortable. These fit the bill. The stretchy waistband on the white was tighter than the blue but thats ok. There are cute ties to tighten up the band. Get a slip for the whites. There are $7 Vassarette ones you can get here on Amazon. I have a small chest and I will likely wear lacy bralettes with these so I cant comment on regular bras. I am 57, 145lbs, big hips, 34B and I ordered the smalls. Im not sure how long these will last in terms of quality, but I won't be wearing them every day so Im not too concerned.
