I really love this dress and happy I ordered it. The fabric is wonderful-- thicker than expected, but good quality cotton with a heavy hand feel.
it comes with a cord belt of the same fabric, but i like to wear it un-belted as a loose comfortable tent dress. I'm 5'1 and usually wear size 12/14 in dresses and ordered the XL, and it fits just like it does on the model. The hem comes just above my knee and the sleeves are just to my wrists. If you are taller, the hem would probably rise up higher. I like to keep the sleeves folded to the elbow and just wear with thick tights and boots while we transition to spring. Overall, i'm super happy with this purchase and will likely purchase another color.
