This is a gorgeous dress. I bought it for a wedding and it was sexy AND classy at the same time. It is very flattering for a petite curvy girl with a small waist. It really flattered my figure. And it was a fantastic bargain.

The worst part is dry-cleaning this dress. This dress is now my favorite, but since it wrinkles so badly, I cannot wear it more than once before I must dry-clean it again. Maintenance of this dress is impractical for a college student.

I was pleasantly surprised. The dress looked and fit exactly as it was presented in your catalog. It's made of good quality material and lined. And it's a very classy look! I'm very pleased!

Every item Chadwicks has is scrumptuous. When they say it doesn't fit; it means its time to lose weight. Chadwicks is fantastic.

I purchased this dress in yellow to wear to a summer wedding. I wore it with a double strand of pearls, and received many complements. It fit beautifully and was perfect for the occassion. My only complaint was that it did wrinkle, (but not as bad as I was afraid it would)
Perfect for curvy hourglass petites!

I will wear the dress to church. The great thing about this dress is that it is a classic style and very figure concious. Makes you feel like a "Lady" when you wear it.

The fit of this dress is beautiful. The quality is very good with one exception. The trim is an ivory--almost dingy white--color. Very disappointing. The catalog photo showed a crisp white trim.

The dress looks very nice, although material a little thin. The fit was NOT proportional at all. Boat neck was huge and almost hung off the shoulders. The rest of the dress was true to size.

I'm hard to fit, and this is perfect. The yellow is rich and buttery. Fully lined and easy to coordinate. Fabulous and flattering. You might need help with the zipper.

The dress was nice - just fit too snuggly around the waist (it was fuller in the bodice and got smaller through the waist and hips) - measurements on dresses would be useful.

Would probably work best for someone who doesn't have curves, it was way to tight in the chest and behind.

Returned the product... I'm 5'3", 134 lbs. A size 10 should have been a comfortable fit. It was tight at the waist and could not zip all the way up due to the bust area way too tight!

I love the style of this dress, but it doesn't fit as expected. I used the size chart, but the dress was still too tight. I also think that the fabric is a poorer quality than I expected.

I did not realize that this dress is a linen blend when I purchased it so the material is not as nice as it looks in the catalog. It fit well and was comfortable except in the sleeve because it hit me in an awkward spot on the shoulder and didn't look right. I am very petite and slender so I feel it was just a matter of how the dress was cut. I also did not like how the white contrast band went down the shoulder instead of just being around the neckline. I felt this gave the dress an unflattering look on me and think it would have looked much better without the extra white band on the shoulders. I plan to return this dress.

Cute and Hepburn-like as they say.Shoulders extend a bit farther than I expected and stick out a little. Bought petite and I'm 5'3 and it was good length and waist was fine (sometimes P are short-waisted for me). Fabric is a little rougher than expected.[...]

The material wasn't up to JG Hook quality - very thin - the zipper was really hard to move - I don't think it was even lined - I think it would have wrinkled badly with that type of material

I was excited to receive this dress, I am a size 2 Petite and this ran too small, I would order a size larger than you normally order. Hope the company improves the quality of the zipper!
