I ordered this dress in rasberry and mineral. The mineral color was not what I expected. Taking the advise of other customers, I ordered a size larger than normal. I am glad that I did.

I liked the dress, I wish the material was thicker. I would recommend this dress. The other dresses I ordered, I sent back. Poor quality all the way around. They use very cheap material.

I usually buy a size bigger with Chadwicks but this dress was a little too snug even with a size 8. I think a size 10 would be too big though. A bit odd.

Looks a little lower quality than I like to wear. A bit snug for the size compared to other Chadwick dresses. Tailoring didn't compliment my figure as I'd hoped. I'm 5'10" and usually wear a size 8. So, I should have looked similar to the model, but it just didn't look as good.

This dress looked so nice on the model. I expected that rather "loose" look, but even thought I have lost wt, I still managed to fill it out!! This dress is meant for someone who has a flat stomach and small chested.

I really like this dress. It is very comfortable and the pleats at the waist really defines the style. There is so much you can do with it: add a pin/scarf for church, flats for casual days, jacket for special occasions, cardigan and pumps for work, and some killer heels for a date/cocktail party. The only con was that it was extremely snug so I ordered a size up. If you like snug (show every curve) then keep your size. Also the black looks as if it may wash out so I suggest dry cleaning.

This is such a beautiful dress. I should have paid more attention though to the picture and description because I am short and I like dresses an inch below my knee. It fits well through the chest and the gathered neckline is most attractive.In black it becomes the perfect versatile little black dress for work or dress.

Had to return it. It was about 2 sizes too small in comparison to clothes I've bought elsewhere in the same size. Chadwick's clothes no longer compare to sizes and quality I find at other places.

My 20-year old daughter loves this dress! She needed a cute and comfortable black dress she could wear with no fuss or worries, and this one definitely fit the bill. Dress it up with pearls or down with a cute belt and she is set! It also looks great on her little figure (wish i could wear it!) I guess my little girl is already a little lady now, because we are probably ordering more colors in this little gem!

Love this dress! The knit is a durable heavier material, but would still work now for summer paired with some flats. It will work perfect paired with a blazer and boots for the fall. So flattering and a classic design! I would receommend wearing a shaper underneath just to smooth any little areas out. Also,I thought I would be ok ordering my normal dress size from Chadwicks, but found it too be just a hint too snug for my taste. I will be returning and ordering one size up.
