Love this dress, nice casual feeling but very classy look. The zipper is a challenge but not that bad unless you have an issue with twisting your arms round. Have they invented a zipper helper for dresses? If not, let's kick around some ideas! Lol I saw this company sells other styles of this dress I will order more as money allows. I have trouble because of my issues with flabby belly and hernia. This fits above it just so, and gives me a waist. I am 5'3" and 147lbs last weigh in, Lol it changes. Just a suggestion to other ladies doing reviews, I really need your weight and height when you talk of too big or small. To me does no good to know it did or didn't fit if Your dimensions are not known. Blessed be to all seeking the right fit!
