This is a figure flattering dress. I am 5'2 and weigh 200 lbs. I carry my weight above the waist (breasts, back & stomach). The dress came to just above my knees which I found to be perfect. The fabric seems to be very good quality and is light weight but not flimsy. Out of the package it was wrinkled but I feel it will steam or iron (light heat) well. I love the pockets!
