I wanted to love this dress.  The fabric is really pretty, and it is well made.  The problem is the sizing - the way it is cut. For referance,  I am 5'7" tall, a B cup, and about 150 lbs, so typically a size 10. I bought a large.  The waist sits way too high- like a good 2 or 3 inches higher than my natural waist - so the skirt part starts too high on me. The "waist" starts just below my bust and is a little tight on my ribs, but doesn't actually come down to my actual waist before it flares out.  On the other hand, the bodice is way too big, gaping open in fact. It is like someone took a petite dress and just made it wider, without out thought to height and proportion.  I think this dress would look good on someone who is short and very curvy.  If you are maybe 5'5" oo shorter and big busted, this dress would probably look great on you.  For someone tall and long waisted, with average bust, it just looks awkward.
