I got this to wear on Christmas. I ordered it on December 22n’d, it arrived on time. I got xtra large. I am 5’4” and 170lbs, but most of my weight is on my bum/thighs and arms. I have a narrow waist and small chest. The dress hit exactly at my knee. I haven’t washed it yet and I don’t know, but don’t anticipate it any shrinking. It fit with some additional room in the waist/chest area but was comfortable and fit perfect for a holiday, lots of room for all the food I ate and super comfortable for all the sitting I did, but I could have gotten a large. **NOTE** However, I have to say that it wasn’t what I was expecting, as I buy this dress in different patterns often. It has been one year since I bought one however and these are the noted changes… The material is very different and initially, out the bag I was VERY upset… but there’s a happy ending! So, I have tried to highlight the differences in the attached pictures. For the comparison the older dress from 2021 is Red/Navy, while the Green/Navy dress is the newest from 12/24 (the most recent dress prior to this one is from Winter 2023 and is the same as the red/navy). For starters the new one has a liner…YES, a glorious liner!! I have some small sensory issues, but with this dress… I could sleep in this dress! Don’t get me wrong, the red one is comfortable, but it is nothing compared to the new green/navy lined dress! While the old dress is obviously mostly cotton, evident by everything in the world wanting to stick to it. It does a far better job in catching all the lint than the dryer lint basket!! I now wash and dry that dress alone! Yet it gets worse, the red/navy, notorious for the stubborn wrinkles! The come out with ironing and you get a couple hours of sophistication.. But this new dress (hearts for pupils) The new dress ARRIVED in an amazon special delivery bag(sarcasm) it arrived in a BALL, but that darn thing slipped out and was ready to wear. Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure an iron would melt it, lol! But lets not get bogged down with silly details. What is important is that despite my initial hate and skepticism for the change in material…. after wearing it on Christmas I then decided to wear it on my drive home, 14 hours!!! And that trip was never more comfortable! Lastly, it comes with a sash, of which I didn’t wear around my waist, instead i used it for a headband, when they come with the sash I usually go the headband route, but you should know it was BIG, the sash was ready for anyone’s waist, for real.. Also note there are no sash loops on the dress, which I prefer. Finally, I returned to order more and figured I would leave a review. They’re true to size IMO, comfortable and versatile. I often wear these dresses with a pull over sweater/boat neck.. and you can’t see the top so it appears that I am wearing a skirt and top. Or you can wear a cardigan, or you can wear a white button down dress shirt (fitted), but of course it really needs nothing. Overall it is a very pretty and flattering cut and I love the new material. Not sure what is up with the tags, but I don’t care either. Ordering more.

I painstakingly sifted through many dresses here and ready many reviews before deciding to purchase this. I sized up as recommended by many other reviews before and the dress fit perfectly! It’s flattering and fun and versatile! It’s also comfortable! What sold me was someone stating if you have a “mom bod” then this is your dress… and as someone with a mom bod, I can completely agree!I wore it to a wedding and ate a lot of food… and I neither felt restricted by the dress nor did I look like I ate everything I actually did eat (LOL).The material is thicker and the dress feels like it’s made well without spending a fortune on it. Worth the money!

I love this flattering dress!! It's true to size, although it loses a star for the fact that ironing it and keeping it unwrinkled is a bit of a bugger. I bet a dry cleaner could do it, but I didn't have time.

The nitty gritty: my current weight 142 lbs. height 5’2”. Bra: 34 B full cup (could also wear 34C demi-cup). Small of waist 30”, widest girth across belly button 39”. I purchase 2 different colors of this dress style in Medium based on my bust and the measurement for the small of my waist. This dress has a higher crew neckline (no risk of spillage and is cut so that it’s flattering for smaller bust too. The skirt portion is a fit and flare style that hugs your back and flares out at the top and not at the hips. This is important if you have a postpartum mom belly or stubborn belly fat that just won’t go away like me. Many of the fit and flair dresses I have purchased/tried on flair out at the side of the hips so I look very pregnant (and I’m not). Since this dress flairs out at the top of the hips (not the side) it hides my mom belly nicely giving me a feminine shape. In one of the side pics, I placed my hands under my belly to show how bloated I can get after eating so you can see that with this dress no one else can tell I have this bloated mom belly. I usually do a sit-down test on the dresses I try on to see 1) how comfortable it is while sitting, 2) does it accentuate my bloated belly, and 3) if it rides up all weird on my legs. This dress style passes the test with flying colors. This dress is made to accommodate those with longer torsos, so it bunches up a bit in the back (as seen in photo). But it’s not a big deal to me; usually I have a bolero shrug (seen in pic) on anyways since many places blasts the AC and I get chilly easily. I feel this dress shape can easily be worn for casual or dressier occasions. The top part of the dress is lined, but the lower half is not lined. The cloth material has a little stretch to it-not a whole lot. I love both dress colors that I got: Steel Blue and Black painting (white with black splashes of colors and black outlines of flowers), and will plan on buying more colors in the future. Highly recommend this dress!

I purchased this dress for a showcase performance - dancing to the song “Lollypop, Lollypop. It is perfect! I added a white crinoline skirt (also from Amazon) and a pair of red patent leather Mary Jane shoes (also from Amazon) to complete the outfit. Oh my goodness…..cute, cute cute. My dance partner purchased a set of red and white polka dot suspenders - also from Amazon. Our showcase performance is amazing as we are doing the East Coast swing. Thank you Amazon!!!

The fit was good but the shape of the dress was not like as it was presented it the picture.
