I was so excited to get this dress. I've been looking for a simple, black midi dress, but this is not the one.  I ordered 1 size bigger than I normally wear, I am 5'9, 180lbs., normal size large, and I ordered an xl because I didn't want it to be too tight.  It was sooo tight!  I squeezed it on and it looked horrible.  It showed everything, even when I put spanx under it.  The material is just too thin and stretchy, making it very unforgiving.  Otherwise, if you are tall and skinny, this dress will look great on you.  It is the perfect length, right below the knee, the neckline is perfect, and the sleeves hit right at the elbow.  I'm too embarrassed to even post a picture.
