The elastic strip under the bust is ugly. It detracts from the dress and looks like an after thought. I sewed colorful beads to it to hide it and it looks good now.

the dress is very pretty and since it is basically sleeveless, I expected to wear it in the summertime. WRONG! The dress is lined and is basically a sweater-type fabric. Not for summer in Alabama! I returned the dress, although it would be great for winter with a wrap.

I loved the look of the dress in the catalog and couldn't wait to get it, but the minute i put it on i wanted it off. It was not at all flattering, and while being too big, it was still showing everything, if that makes sense. Even the neckline was unflattering. I did return the product.

Returning item due primarily to length. Sleeves also seemed shorter than in the picture. I must have a larger frame than the model, or the item is a little on the small side.

I am a size 8 in Chadwick's clothes (4 or 6 in everything else) but I usually need a medium in dresses so it goes over my chest. I wish I had ordered a small so I would have the shape-fitting look shown in the picture. I kept it because I can wear it to teach, to church, or anywhere else and be comfortable.

I can usually tell how the piece is going to work out by the first time I try it on. I love the color and the style but it was wrinkled from the package and fit a little big for a Small. I have taken it to the cleaners and hope that ties up all of the worries I may have.
