Fabric is pretty cheap-looking and the fit is awkward.  I don't have a long torso at all, but I felt like the waist on the dress starts wayyy too high up, so the skirt poofs out way above the waist and it can make you chubbier.  It sort of gives you the illusion of a really short torso and you end up looking chunky.  The husband didn't seem to see any of these faults and was throughly pleased, so I supposed it served its purpose quite well.  That's why I am giving it three stars, but for look, value, and fit, I would give it 1 and a half...
