I received the dress promptly. The dress and the sizing chart are very accurate. The dress can be worn for various occasions and the material is of very good quality. Can be worn from weddings, parties to barbecues and graduations. I bought this dress in two colors. The pockets do stick out, but it can either be ironed down or tacked if you don't mind not having pockets. I bought both the orange/ivory and the blue and both fit great. When I go to wear the blue one (the most recent one I bought- it wasn't really an issue with the orange/ivory one) I will probably iron the pockets down.
