I like almost everything about this dress. The pattern is beautiful and vibrant and looks exactly like the photos.  I got an XL and I have large shoulders for a woman, I'm a solid 14 in tops and a 36 DD and I can actually button the buttons all the way up.  (I do have to rely on the little modesty piece or whatever it is that goes underneath the buttons so if they do gape you can't tell, but still this is unusual for me.) The shoulders fit really nicely and the flow of the dress is nice.  I'm 5 foot 6-ish and I won't need to hem the dress but it does go almost to the floor.  It would be absolutely perfect if the elastic 'waist' was 2-6 inches lower than where it is.  It overlaps right now with the underside of my boobs, even if I wear what is basically a sports bra.  If it were 6 inches lower it would basically be a perfect dress, because then it would define my actual waist (which is lower than most).  I'm going to keep the dress but I may be adding a wide belt or somesuch to it because it almost fits like a maternity garment with being tighter on the chest and more full directly below.  I know some people said it was wrinkly, which it was, but it was folded in the bag nicely and it's nothing my steamer can't fix.  I don't need a slip with it either (I got the green dress with the red and white flowers.).  Milumia, please make this dress with the elastic lower and I will buy it in every color!! :)
