The scoop neckline runs low and would not be comfortable for a larger bust. The decorative buttons are cheap looking as well as the knit. Even on sale this dress is a bit over priced. I've yet to decide if I'll keep this dress or return it & have to pay for shipping again.

This was the worst looking dress I have tried on in a long time. It looked like a maternity dress, but was so tight across the bust and so low cut that one could never have worn it anywhere even if you were pregnant. I have returned it.

It doesn't get better than this. You can dress this up or down, whatever your occasion. It's comfortable enough for casual and I'm wearing it to an anniversary party.

I'm petite and not overweight and this dress fits well (to size) and is quite flattering. Buy it!

Really cute and versatile dress. Can be worn with footless tights & flats for a casual look, or with heels for a dressier look. I can't wait to wear it out.

I love this dress. It was just what I was looking for. Then I tried it on and I couldn't get it over my head! I am a size 12 petite but I ordered a 14 just for added comfort. I can't even get it on. Now my size 6 daughter is wearing it. That will be the last dress I order.

It was a little snug in the chest and arms - not bad though. The sleeves do not bell out as the picture shows, but it doesn't make it less attractive since it is form-fitting on the whole top section anyway. I like it because it is comfy and cute, doesn't wrinkle, and I can wear it to work and be comfortable and look fresh all day. I even got the burgundy tights they show on the model, and the outfit is adorable and stylish.

The colors were great but I was disappointed with the fit. It seemed to be a junior size fit, rather than misses. The top is cut very low, and showed a good portion of my bra when I tried it on. I returned both dresses, since I had wanted them to wear to work.
