I ordered this dress in green for St. Patrick's Day after trying on a different color in a department store near my home.  Like other reviewers have said, if you're busty, go up a size.  You'll be more comfortable and you won't look like a sausage.

Even though the top was smaller and I had to go up a size, the cut of the dress and the belt allowed it to be cinched in at the waist yet not make me look like a goober.

I'm very short and the dress hit just below my knee, which ended up being perfect since that meant I didn't have to hem it (and I got to be lazy about shaving my legs that day).  It didn't come too low in the front or under the arms, and the waist wasn't too low, either.  It also didn't have excess fabric above the shoulders.  All of these are generally problems for us short people.

For reference, I'm 5'1" and a 34DD.  In dresses, I usually wear a 4 or 6, but I needed the 8 in this one since the top is cut smaller and there's a lot of fabric up there.

I was very pleased with the heft of the fabric and the beautiful sheen to it.

And I got SO many compliments for St. Patrick's Day!

All in all, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress.  I guess I'm starting to become a Jessica Simpson clothing line fan.  I found another of her dresses that I love, too.

Who knew?
