Okay, so it looks better on the model, but good on me too. I read a lot of mixed reviews but love this dress on and husband loves it too. I am 5'3" and about 160lbs with narrow waist and really wide hips. This dress size large was made for me! A little shear, so you do need a slip in lighter colors. Buttons all the way up front, get a buttoning tool unless you have nimble fingers. Drawstring is decorative only. Bottom hem hits the floor, and seems a tad longer in back. Will buy more. One star off because the short sleeves are kind of "ho hum".
