I took one star away due to the extreme largeness of the dress. I tend to wear an 8 dress size or a medium or small. I got a small which is quite big on me around the waist and above the waist. It fits like a 12. It is, however, a lovely dress that is made well. I am keeping it and will take the tie and wrap it twice around my waist to pull it smaller, which means it will tie in the back. I will also wear a power bra to help the breast area to be better filled in. I am only 5'2" and yet the length doesn't overpower me, especially if I wear a heel. It is in no way sexy--only lovely. It will hide bellies and thick waists. It doesn't enhance the butt--just covers its and will hide imperfections here, which I don't have presently. My husband was not impressed; he likes to see curves. I think though for my work environment it will be appropriate and the dress is very comfortable. I machine washed and dried and was pleased with the results. I got the navy blue print and think it is very pretty.I ordered a large. I’m 169 pds measure 38-29-39. This was so flattering and pretty. I wore this on my vacation in Asia. It’s hot there and I wanted light flowy materials. There are slits on the side of the dress and so I wore biking shorts underneath so I didn’t have to be careful of how I sat. The slits aren’t necessary. One side is fine but it’s both sides and it goes up high when you sit down.This looked like a really cute dress, but ended up looking more like it should be a uniform in a 50s diner! Comfy fabric, fits nicely, but something about the way it was made looked legit like a 50s diner uniform on the top. So weird. I think you'd have to buy this about 2 sizes bigger than normal to get that 'drapey' effect that the picture shows. I always order a size up with these companies, but this one was still giving out that Laverne and Shirley vibe. Sent it back! My daughter wouldn't even try it on...lol.Won't post a picture of this as there are many for this dress. But it should be noted how lovely this dress looks on ALL the women who've posted pics! That alone should tell you how flattering it is. RARE to find a dress that flatters anyone with any body shape or height. I loved the green dress so much I bought yellow. EVERYONE said it's pretty, even those who tell me the blunt truth? (it is actually appreciated;)I am short-5'2, 175lbs-the length came to middle of my calf. But I wanted a longer dress anyway. The material is breezy cool!! I live in a HOT climate 100⁰+ and it's perfect!! Can't say enough about how lovely it is. It looks a bit like the dresses my great aunts wore in the '30s. It is modest without being prudish. This one is a jewel for any woman. The ONLY issue is sizing. It runs smaller. I usually wear large, but prefer a loose fit, so I got xl this time. Dress this up with heels and jewelry, or you can hike in it with some flats. It's that versatile.I'm going on?- but it's that terrific & esp for the price!! I am back for more, and bought another sleeveless Brovave dress for easy packing. Just love it!I don't give solicited reviews either, but would invite THEM to give me another one in red ???This looks like a really cute dress to wear to run errands, lunch, etc. but it doesn’t fit the way the picture shows. It looks rather frumpy. Unfortunately, I expected something different.Fits perfectly and is very comfortable. I love the oversized look of the sleeves. Wore yo work and got numerous compliments. It’s very flattering. Bought it in black and the baby blue. Fit and sizing are consistent between the two. No loose threads or faults in seams. Good quality for the price.I am a little large chested but this was wayyy too small at the topWhat I like about this dress is the style. What I don't like about this dress is the style looks terrible on me. I first bought the XL and it looked gigantic. 5'7" 174 38 dd bust. Usually wear an xl in China made cloths.I then bought this one in green in large. The fit is almost perfect, but it just doesn't look good no matter how I try. I look frumpy. It's not for me. I think it's too bulky in the shoulder area. I tried using shoulder pads when trying it on, it still looks dumpy. I believe it's rayon too so you have to be very careful when washing. The dress is made well. No strings, no broken seams, or broken buttons. It's just not me. I'm returning unfortunately. I was so hopeful that this was going to look great, I ordered two. The other one is coming tomorrow. I'm just going to return it. I think if this dress had a V neck collar rather then a regular collar, it would have been perfect. All the buttons are functional so you can wear it any way you want. Thats a great option. Just npt for me. Sorry.
