Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The dress is really comfortable and easy to wear. Not not to fancy or plain. My only complaint is around the breast area it's too roomy, but fit great bottom down. I'm a 36C so I would think I could fill the top out, but guess not. I wear it to church and work a lot with a fitted cardigan.

Loved the dress, but the whole bodice was too big even though I ordered the petite - waist and length was fine. Otherwise great summer color and style. As in other reviews I also found the side zip to be trouble some.

This dress is cute but it wrinkles easily!! Good for work with a short sleeved sweater over the top and some pumps and/or flats and you can dress it down with a pair of sandals and no sweater. The color is really bright and pretty and you can't beat the price. I haven't washed it yet so keep your fingers crossed that it holds up. I don't think that I will put it in the dryer as I don't want it to shrink in the chest.

[...] I had chosen to wear it for my bridal shower!! [...] I got sooo many compliments on how cute I looked in a dress that looked like it was tailored to my body!!! (actual comment from a guest) Plus, many were surprised and curious to find out that I had purchased it online and from Chadwicks, which tends to appeal to women a bit older than myself (age 27). I loved the dress and will continue to wear it for many more summer days to come!!!

This is a lovely dress, but the top of the dress is too roomy and I ordered the same size I always do and the tops on the other dresses fit perfectly. The length and fit at the waist is ideal. I will wear this to work, church, and any other nice summer occasion. I may also have it altered to fit better.

Very Pretty Color (carnation) and the fabric has good wieght with a little stretch which makes the fit very flattering. It looks good with flats, or dressed up with heels and jewelry. I wore it to work with a little white shrug and heels and pearls, then took off heels and shrug and necklace and switched to sandals for my kids swim meet - it was perfect for both. I feel very cute and young in it w/o looking like I am trying too hard!. Love it!
