I love CowCow dresses and I own quite a few. This one is just as comfortable and cute as the others, but this style with the underbust seam fits much differently than the A-line sheath style of all my other CowCow dresses. I'm 5'7" and size 14/16, and the 2X in my other dresses without the seam fit well with plenty of room and the length covers my knees. This new style with the seam still fits but is much more snug. It is not too tight, but has a much slimmer fit. I will say that my old dresses all sag a bit at the underarm, and this new one fits much better in that area, but it is also a little tighter in the bust which means that the pattern stretches a tiny bit in that area. This dress is also considerably shorter than the others, and fits just like the model in the photo with the dress hitting the upper-mid thigh area. I think the fit of this style is actually much more flattering than the other straight style, but if you are tall or plus-sized you may want to consider sizing up in this style.
