This item looked absolutely adorable on the model in the picture, but it looked absolutely awful on me!  I am a size 12 and after reading some other comments, thought that this dress might look ok on me; I was sooo wrong.  The shape of this dress, even with the belt is not flattering at all. The fit is too wide and makes you look bigger than you actually are.  The hem has dips and is different all the way around. The arm opening is too high on the side that doesn't tie and too loose on the side that does.  I love the print on this fabric, so I think I'll see what my seamstress can make out of it instead of sending it back.
