I purchased this dress in the black with white polka dots... This dress is so well made and fits very well. I had a white petty coat already and it definitely makes the dress so extra special! I am going to wear it as a Minnie-Bound to Disneyland next week! I cannot wait! I paired it with a red ribbon instead of the belt. My husband is going to Mickey bound and it is going to be magical! I went with the 1X because I was worried about the fabric, my waiste is 39 inches and this dress matters the most in the waist area. The length was a little above the knee on me, I am 56. I typically wear a 14. The fabric is not silky, it has a nice weight that feels like cotton or poplin.
