I only have one problem with some of the dresses that I have purchased. I am small on top so most of the time the top is too big and I have to alter them, but they are of good quality for the money.

wrinkles very easily, which I expected: It is real linen. However, the color is more closer to CAMEL, not a dirty off white, as advertised.

When someone orders a larger size you would expect that the sleeves would be larger also, not in this case and many other clothes I have shopped for, we don't just gain weight around the middle it goes everywhere so we need clothes that are sized bigger everywhere. If you have skinny arms order away.

The style doesn't fit the everyday person. I wear a size 12 in every other dress style. This dress left a gaping top over more like a size 10 hip with pencil arms. And linen tightens when washed so size 12 people forget this one or order a larger than usual size.

You can not get this dress over your head; it needs a side zipper and the shoulders are cut way too narrow. Going up one size is not enough with this product.

This dress does not have a zipper and does not wrap, so it goes on and off over the head and shoulders. The waist has a snug fit to accentuate this feature. So it has a trim fit but doesn't accomodate the shoulders when putting it on and taking it off. I returned it :-(

It is a nice dress, is flattering, does wrinkle easily since it is linen, though I like the look and feel of linen. It is a tiny bit difficult to get on and off over the arms and shoulders, but it does fit pretty well once on. A major flaw is that while the description states it has side pockets, which is one of the reasons I bought it, there are no pockets anywhere on the dress.

It was so small I had a hard time getting it on, not sure if I had ordered the larger size if it would have fit. Had to send it back and did not order in a larger size. It was so wrinkled when it arrived it was hard to see what it would have looked like if it had fit.

This is a beautiful dress that fit nicely even for a gal with a larger bust (although I will wear a tank underneath because it doesnt have any button or hook to keep it closed all the time). It's slightly long on me, since I am on the shorter side, but it shouldnt be an issue to get it hemmed. But overall its a stylish dress which could be work to work or to a summer party!

I have large shoulders and this is a little too close for me and I even ordered up a size. Nice color and easy to get into for being a "faux" wrap with a side zipper. The fabric is linen but because it is a wrap and is long it does feel heavy, would not recommend it for summer wear.
