Love the dress,  short of a few significant flaws.  First thing I noticed - the inside liner is sewn inside out,  with seams and tags on the outside.  Wow,  but not terribly noticeable, would have kept it for that.  The empire waist was not exactly flattering with the way the gathering was done on the skirt,  but that might have been remedied by dewrinkling it,  which I didn't do. Would have kept it anyway.  But the zipper... the zipper was hard to zip,  seemed cheap,  especially around the empire waist and husband thought it was just to tight until I showed him how cheap the zipper feels and difficulty zipping up after I took it off.  I don't think the zipper will last very long.  Still would have kept it. After debating whether to keep it or not,  I finally told hubby I think I'm going to return it, THEN HE TELLS ME,  at the top of my neck,  the dress stood away from my neck about an inch and a half and looked kinda weird.  Any one or two of those issues, I probably would have kept it, even with the risk of the zipper because it fit great.  But there were just too many adding up.  Very sad,  because otherwise I LOVE THE DRESS
