Fit is a little tight on top. Purchased my usual size but probably could have gone a size larger. Great wash-n-wear dress. Would wear to work with a jacket or sweater because it's a little low in back. On the whole it's a nice, comfortable, summer dress. I receive many compliments when I wear it.

This is a great dress for dancing. Sexy - but stretchy enough to allow for movement. I bought a Petite size and the proportions are perfect! Gives you the "hour-glass" look. (I usually need to take up the shoulders, even on a Petite, but this was a perfect fit!) Although it is just a TINY bit tight at the hips, it is extremely flattering! It can be "dressed-up" easily for a more formal look. The sleeves are not really a CAP sleeve, as described. The sleeve has elastic in it and can be worn on the shoulders to cover bra straps, or off the shoulders for a dramatic look. The brown color that I bought is a rich dark chocolate!

THE MATERIAL OF THIS DRESS WAS HEAVY AND STRETCHY. BELOW THE EMPIRE WAIST LINE WAS A PUFF OF MATERIAL THAT MADE YOU LOOK PREGNANT, AND BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS HEAVY IT JUST STAYED PUFFY IN THAT AREA.

This was a gorgeous print and color but there were a couple of odd things about the fit that caused me to return the dress. First, the shoulders are strange due to the elastic. It doesn't quite fit right on the shoulders comfortably (and makes it hard to conceal bra straps) but yet you don't want to wear the dress off the shoulders because that is just a fashion don't. The other odd thing about the fit is the pleats just under the waist. In profile it causes the dress to pooch out rather than hang flat. I have a flat stomach but in this dress I looked like I had a bit of a gut.

This is the second try on this dress. The first one came defective - the elastic on the sleeve was stretched while sewing it, and it fell off the shoulder. I tried again, and this one is fine. It fits well everywhere and it is a keeper. I'll get a lot of use out of it and am glad I asked for a replacement the first time.

The skirt is straighter than it looks in the pictures, so if you have hips (like adult women are supposed to) it pulls the fabric tight against your abdomen. The cut is for Juniors not Misses.

I will not use this product, due to its poor fit and poor design & workmanship. The cap sleeves are more like straps than caps, one side is higher than the other at the hem & the white cloth used on the inside of the bodice shows (I bought the dark brown dress). I would not wear it out in public, will probably only wear it around the house when I clean.

This is a cute looking dress. My problem right now is that I think the elastic on the right cap sleeve may be stretched out and therefore it will not stay up on my shoulder. The left side is perfect. I'm a little disappointed and am trying to decide whether to just return it for credit or try a new one. I bought it in a 10P. It is not too large, I'd say it runs a little on the small side.

The dress was a disappointment. It was black with a white lining in the bust area that showed (not a very good idea for a black dress). The waist area was stretched out - the belly area looked like it had been worn and stretched out; the fit in general was awkward.
