I ordered the black in a large. My normal dress size is either a 12 or a 14, so I might normally have gone with an XL as I didn't want a dress with too much cling, but following the listed measurements I'm glad I went with the large. It fits perfectly. Definitely go by the measurements that are listed, otherwise you'll risk not getting the right size or something that doesn't fit right (like one of the other not so satisfied reviewers).

You can wear it as either a one shoulder or an off shoulder dress - either way it looks great. The material is nice. Its thin but not so thin you have to worry about stuff like bra or panty lines. If you get the right maxi-dress, in the right print or color that fits your body right, you can dress it up or down. You could dress it up as an evening dress or down as a summer dress. Which is exactly what I wanted. I'd looked around quite a bit and resigned to the fact that I'd probably have to pay a higher price than I had originally budgeted, but then I found this.

Seriously. For the price, you can't beat it. Really good quality. You can wear it a bunch of different ways for a bunch of different looks. I may eventually own this dress in a number of different colors, that's how much I love it. I'll admit, though. Buying the white is probably not the BEST idea considering the material. That's a risk you take when you buy white online without trying it on.

Anyway. I'm extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase. Its not a to-die-for-amazing piece, but that's not what I was expecting when I ordered it. I got exactly what I was expecting and I'm in love with it.
