Due to the elastic waist, it is not good for a busty woman. I am 5'2 and the length was perfect. A zipper might be helpful for the mature woman. Gave it to my daughter and she hated it.(young adult) It has been returned.

This dress was on backorder, but well worth the wait! It washes easily, and to avoid wrinkles I just hung it up to dry. You can easily dress it up or down. I would get this in every color available!

I am extremely pleased with this dress. Although the color that I wanted was out of stock, I ordered it in a different color and still love it. It is very versatile, can be worn just about anywhere and is flattering to almost every body type (including my rather bottom heavy one!) It is more flattering on than it is on the hanger, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for simple, but very pretty, dress.

I may have to return this. Could not believe it was priced at [$]. The hemline isn't even and the shoulders are gathered too much on one side versus the other. Very, very cheap looking. I intended to wear this to work on casual day, but it's too cheap looking to be casual. Pool wear or backyard cookout. I was very disappointed.

Not high quality but it looks alright. The salmon color is beautiful, I am unsure how it would look after I wash it. The texture of the cloth seems flimsy. Good fit, I'll use it on the weekend.

This dress was so thin you could read a newspaper through it and that is including the lining. It was not made well at all. The bottom of the dress was very unlevel. It was very poorly made and the fabric is low quality.

This dress is OK. Color is OK. Bottom half flairs out way more than shown on model. Also, its a guazy material and you could iron this all day long and it will always look wrinkly. I would wear this as a nightgown around the house but it's definately not something I'd wear out in public. I'm a 2p/5 ft tall and if your small like me, its not a flattering dress.

This dress was much more casual and low-budget looking in person. I was hoping to be able to wear it out to dinner but it's much too "everyday" looking for that. It really is just a sundress. The trim is barely noticeable. The color was very nice and it fits well.

This dress was a great disappoinment. It looked cute in the catalog. I wear a true 14P and this dress fit all wrong. It was way too short, and just fit oddly all over. It seemed as if it was sewn incorrectly. The material seemed cheap and flimsy. This is totally unlike the other lovely things I've purchased from Chadwick's.

I liked this dress, but sent it back because the top looked big under the arms. Would have to have taken it up. Tried a cami underneath but it still gaped at the sideseams. Would be cute as a swimsuit coverup as well as a summer dress with strappy shoes and a wide belt if it fit right.
