This dress looks great on! It emphasizes the bust area while camoflauging the stomach area. It is comfortable. I will be wearing it to church mainly, but it would be great for work, or any evening out. I love the fit!

I originally bought this in a 12, and the skirt was too narrow although the top fit. I decided to give the 14 a try and the skirt is now perfect, and the top is slightly larger than I would like, but it works. Because I love the style, I will keep it and see how I might adjust the top a bit, although I can wear it as is. But, know that if you are larger on the bottom than on the top normally, you may have trouble getting both the top and bottom of the dress to fit correctly.

This is the second size of this exact same dress that I've purchased and not really liked. The top gets bigger as time goes on, but the bottom is still skinny and seems to ride up. And don't even think about trying to get out of it without ruining your hairdo!

I just didnt like the fabric pattern or feel, and the dress was just overall a little snug and would have been uncomfortable to wear for any extended amount of time. I do have pretty broad shoulders, so maybe it would fit a petite person better. I just was looking for a comfortable, versatile dress and decided this wouldn't work for me.

This dress is so cute: a little retro, cool print, nice shape, versatile style - the main con, and it's a personal preference, is that it has no stretch, so it's not very accommodating for those days you feel a little heavier. Also it seems a tad small in general compared to other dresses I have of the same size. But it is really, really sweet-looking.

I wear a standard size 12 but every now and then some items are cut a little tighter in the hips than I can handle. This has a straight skirt that I just couldn't do, so I had to send it back. I thought if I went up a size, the top would be too big because it fit perfectly up top. So, if you have nice slim hips, try it!

I loved this dress - I just didn't quite fit the hip area so I had to return it, and I knew if I ordered one size up the top area would be too big. I usually wear a standard size 12 from most of Chadwick's items and most are fine. Every now and then, one style is cut a little slimmer in the hip. This is one - but it's a great dress!!!
