A darling dress, but the 2P and 4P felt identical in size. If you are a C cup or above, the bust on this dress will not fit. The waist also oddly high: not quite empire, not quite at the natural waist. I loved the dress but it just wouldn't work for me.

I would not recommend this dress. Very thin, poor quality material. Did not look the way it did in the catalog and online. I knew I was taking a risk by ordering this dress online, but after reading the reviews, I thought I'd take a chance. As soon as I opened my package, I was disappointed. When I put the dress on, instantly hated the appearance. I sent it back the same day. I know I probably would not order an item through Chadwicks for a long time.

Too tight in the bust and I'm not large in the breast. Material was not what I expected. It was rough and scratchy. I was very disappointed in this dress. I've bought many other dresses from here and been very pleased. Not this one! I couldn't return it fast enough.

I thought what I was purchasing was a cool summer dress. When it arrived, I saw it had a polyester lining, which would not "breathe" in the summer heat. I would've been hot and uncomfortable. The polyester was also cheap quality, not compatible with the good quality cotton of the dress itself. The fit was also off, and I felt strangled when I tried it on. I'm used to better quality from Chadwick's

I wore it to church, and everyone loved it. It really caught everyone's eyes. But, I found the cut was not very well. The neck part was a little bit bigger and the whole dress was difficult to wear--because the zip was locating left side, and not wide open. My arms were difficult to go through.

I bought to wear to a summer party. I wear an 8P, so I ordered both an 8P & 10P when I read the other reviews about the fit of the dress. The waist fit fine in both sizes, but the chest was way to tight in both, I think I am pretty normally proportioned, but the top half was way to tight.

The inverted pleats were sewn at the waist without placing them flat on the zipper side so the dress didn't fall nicely it looked and felt like the material was stretched to the limit in order to zip it or the pleat on that side was sewn too far down the pleat. It just looks and feels awkward.
