I have really mixed feelings on this dress.  That it is lined is a nice feature.  In some respects it is well made and in others poorly made.  The tie in front is off center but that is an easy fix.  Relative to it's sizing the elastic parts are far too tight.  This can be fixed as well. The waist was too big but I thought I could add some darts. Too many issues, after concluding I would almost have to remake the dress I have decided to return it. So, the sizing runs VERY small. Actually it has the distinction of being the most poorly sized garment I have encountered. On the right figure it could be very flattering but if you have broad shoulders or a large bust and a small waist pass on this one.
