Fantastic!
This dress is adorable! I wear a size large shirt, size 12 pants. I got the size large and it fits great. I will say that I am busty (38DDD), so if you aren't, you may be able to go down a size. However, for it to fit just like it does in the picture, I'd order your regular size. I'm 5' 5" and it hits right at the knee on me. That's exactly where I wanted it. As you can see in one of the pics, when I pair it with high-heel platform wedges, it's about 1" shorter (the height of the platform). Not too short. I've added pictures of it with a belt, as well as without. The dress has some shape on me without the belt, but probably wouldn't if my bust were smaller. I think it's cute either way.
The cold shoulder is great for those of us who have the types of arms that when you wave, your underarm keeps flapping for a few seconds after you quit waving. ;) Ugh. You get the coolness of a sleeveless dress, even with the upper arm being covered.
The pictures are of the dress straight out of the package. It's thin, but not see-through, so it'll be great for hot days. When it's cooler, I'll just pair it with some leggings or skinny jeans. It's well-made and held up well when I washed it. I hung it up to dry as I wouldn't put this in the dryer as I'm sure it would shrink.
I was worried about the pockets when I ordered it. Several weeks ago, I ordered another dress with pockets here on Amazon and the pockets added width to the hip area. I know how to sew, so I took them out and it's fine now. With this dress, I don't think it adds bulk, probably because of the natural A-line nature of the dress.
I definitely recommend this cute dress. I think it would flatter any figure, it's a great price, well-made, and can be dressed up or down.
If you have any questions, comment and I'll try to help. Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!
