I don't understand how businesses can get away with such blatant false advertising. The dress is listed and described as "fit and flare," and in all of the pictures the skirt is full. However, in real life, this is a pencil skirt. There is absolutely NO flare. You would literally need 100% more fabric in the skirt portion to make this remotely close to the pictures. It is not - by any stretch of the imagination - flowy. If you're looking for a pencil dress, then this one will suit you just fine. If you're looking for a dress with any flare, look elsewhere!
