I had to return this because the bust wasn't deep enough. The trim at the waist sat well up on my chest. Even if it fit well, I would probably have returned it as the pattern seemed much larger than depicted and, the prior statement notwithstanding, I'm a smallish woman.

This dress would look nice on someone with no curves, but if you are not stick thin the dress does not hang straight down. It tends to balloon out right under the empire waist and it makes you appear larger than you are. I returned my dress.

I'm 5 almost 6 months pregnant, so I bought this dress because maternity dresses are so expensive. I love the dress. It does however make me look really HUGE. But that's just probably me and not the dress. My only negative about this dress is that there seems to be a little extra material under the dress that may contribute to my hugeness.

Had to return this dress, unfortunately. Although a beauty, the fabric tends to poof around the hip area (model looks like she's trying to disguise it in the picture). So if you have any curves at all, it adds more bulk and volume than one would want.

The top part is too small and the dress juts out and is too full from the empire out making me look pregnant not flattering at all. It does not fit like the picture at all, they must have pinned the back to make it look that way.

I liked the dress but I did think the material right below the waist was a bit on the thick side. The gathers tend to make you look bigger than you are but still its a pretty dress and I will wear it. I love the colors and style.

I loved the dress when seen in the catalog and ordered it to wear to a beach wedding. However, when it arrived, I didn't like the way it hangs past the waist. It fit great in the chest area, but what you don't see in the picture is that the waist is actually more of an empire waist and is cinched around the jewel band. Because of this, it made hips look bigger than actually are, not very flattering unless maybe if you're teeny tiny.Was disappointed b/c really liked the dress in the picture, returned the dress.
