The only problem with this dress is that the chest area felt a little tight, I got a size 16 and wear a D cup. Once it's on, it looks great though.

I got this dress in the brown, and it will be a great transitional dress for our hot fall season! The empire styling is very flattering, and the fabric is cool and comfortable. My only concern is that the scoop back of the dress will reveal my lack of suntan, so I'll have to get to work on that issue!

This dress is very pretty but when I put it on, I felt that the neckline was too large and low for wear to work. I'm planning on wearing a sweater over it to cover some of the bare skin to make it work better. Also there is a slight paunchiness in the front which makes me look fatter than I'd like. once again, the sweater kind of fixes the problem by flattening it out a bit. I'm just a little disappointed because I thought I could use this in warmer weather, but now I'll be too hot with the sweater over it to wear it when it's warmer. I don't see myself wearing this without a sweater over it.

It doesn't matter if you are short, tall, if you have an hour glass figure, or if you are pear-shaped. I think that this dress will fit and flatter any figure. The print looks so fresh and summery. My favorite purchase this season!

Some of the styles are strictly catering to those who choose to want very low cut fronts. For me I won't buy products because of it, even if I like the clothes. There have been several I didn't purchase because of this very thing. I consider myself having sex appeal and class without hanging out of my clothes.

I was really disappointed in the dress, would have returned it but it is such a hassle and the expense of shipping make it not worth while. I have purchased quite a bit of items over the years from Chadwick's and this is by far the worst. This dress was designed for those who are a size 4 with no bust. I am a pretty consistent 10-12 with a moderate bust and it just looks horrible. It doesn't hang well because the material is so cheap. I got the black one because i knew the design wouldn't work with my figure and it still didn't work. It looks way cuter on print than in real life, don't get sucked in!

I understand now why some other reviewers said it fits like a maternity dress. Anyone who is skinny will look frumpy in this and anyone wwith a tummy (like me) will look pregnant! It has a baggy section in the stomach area that just does not look right. The neckline was cute though, too bad the rest of it wasn't.

very figure-flattering dress; feels a little small though, I reordered next size and it fits perfect!!! very comfortable. The front is quite low cut, keep in mind! yes, there's a gathering of the fabric under the bust, but if you stand straight (as opposed to slouching), it will disappear. It's a cute summer dress. I have it in two colors.

I find myself wanting to take it in and rework the surplice front to cover seams that I don't think should be showing.

This dress fit perfect and is VERY flattering. Nice weight and feel to the fabric, as well as easy care. I liked it so much -- even better than the picture -- that I immediately ordered a second in a different color.

I agree with Kris--very unflattering fit. Huge in the waist, and funny fit in the bust. Large pleating that did not fit well. Too bad, it looked cute in the pic but it is going back.
