The dress was WAY to small according to the charts. If you wear a size 6 order a size 16. That is how far off this dress was! I could not even get it over my head to see how it fit. I am planning on returning it soon!
I would buy this product again.

Pretty and semi-dressy, so it works well for any semi-dressy occasion. I got this in the blue which is a beautiful color. The fit (in the size 8) is fine. The only negative thing about it is that it is a little hard to get on and off. Once on, it fits great.

Overall, I can't wait to wear this dress.

It does fit true to size. Though if you have a thick waist it might be tight. I'm hourglass, so it fit nicely on me.
Perhaps some aren't measuring properly so as to know their exact size, at least according to Chadwick's requirements. Not sure, but I bought a 6 and I'm a 6 working my way into a 4, and it fit just fine. Lovely.

I am actually going to return this dress. I put it on to wear for the day (work) and noticed that all of the stitching on the top of the pleats was pulling or out completely. It is a major wrinkle dress (hard to iron). The color is beautiful, though. I also have it in brown - haven't had a chance to wear or check the pleats on the brown one.

The design on the dress made it difficult to get on. Once on, it fit perfectly. Then, the zipper didn't give enough room to get off & I had to cut it to get it over my head. If the waist was any bigger, it would have fit to big. Needs a different zipper design to get on and off. Color was beautiful.

Very cute, but disappointed in the size issue. The length looks like it would work as does the rest of the dress, but the waistline is super small.
