Absolutely perfect
Hello fellow shopper,From my lived experience there’s rarely a clothing item that feels so bespoke “off the rack”. So rare, I cannot recall the last time I had such an experience.We’re getting awfully close with this one.AND it’s from Amazon at a low price? Stop.Quick facts about author:Demographic- 40’sBody type- Apple (all bust and belly)Dimensions- Height 5’2 (157cm) Weight 200 (90kg)Fabric: Not too bad. Not too bad at all.Now, I haven’t field tested this dress. Only a try on. No washing experience…Material and seams aren’t a sensory nightmare.The material is synthetic feeling but not bothersome (hot humid might be a problem- when isn’t it?).Stretchy material gives “freedom with structure” vibes. We shall see. You know how things can get floppy. I would be surprised if that was the case here but maybe.Weight is medium.Swingy not clingy.Twirl 8.5/10.Silhouette:Fit and flare adds “shape” to the “shapeless”.The shoulder has personality that brings balance.The neckline is Goldilocks sweet- not too high or low, not too wide or tight.Waist is defined and the skirt flows out beautifully.For my body everything lines up right.Reception:Mirror told me I was the fairest of them all.Husband said I looked like a Mennonite.I thought he’d go more mid-century retro housewife, but I get it.*Modest fashion approved!*Last notes:• Pockets are indeed present and adequate.• I slipped it on over my head with no need to fuss about the zipper.• What would I get altered? The sleeve openings and possibly the length. I am debating.My forearms aren’t particularly robust compared to other bits. These sleeves are generous below the elbow.As mentioned in my “about me” section above, I’m 5’2. The dress lands about mid-calf. I could see taking it up to just below the knee.Important disclosure:The color and pattern might have me hypnotized.Is dark navy with reddish-pink pattern the real star here?Would this dress in a solid light color be nearly as magical?I suspect it would not.If money and time were of no consideration I could try on other patterns and let you know with more certainty.Gut instinct tells me this particular pattern is “it”.Hence my selection.To each their own!For me, the color/print combo were the most put-together and flattering. Upon arrival I was not disappointed in the least.If anything, I instantly wanted to buy a whole wardrobe of this dress :)Off to research other patterns and similar dresses by this brand.Good luck on your shopping journey.Ps- I do NOT like shopping and wish clothes just appeared as they do for my family ;)

Quality and comfortable
I am so happy I found this dress for a wedding and a graduation that I need it for. It is a beautiful dress that fits me well and it is very comfortable and modest. I bought a size large I usually wear a medium. I’m 5’4” 145 lbs. I don’t have a thin waist or torso. I have a little bit of a tummy to hide. It fits well in the breast, I am 38b. I like the pockets in the dress and the fabric has a little stretch to it. I like the thickness of the fabric and it’s comfortable. I want to buy more colors of dresses in this style because I like it so much! It has a zipper in the back. It has a waist band and it is a little lighter weight fabric than my blue and white one.

Very pretty, had trouble w/zipper though
Pros: I wore this to a church daytime wedding as a guest and received many compliments. I suggest Iron pressing this before wearing along with wearing a slip underneath. It is a cotton like material and not like a more flowy silk, but it is an attractive dress and was perfect for the occasion nonetheless. I was very comfortable in this as well.Cons: I had some real difficulty with the zipper halfway up the back, at the waistline near the pleats. It had nothing to do with the dress being too small, the zipper just refused to budge at that point for quite some time. There was nothing caught in it, it just refused to move. I was also afraid the zipper would break if it was forced too hard. With my husbands' help and a bit of Vaseline, we finally managed to get it zipped all the way up. So I'll be crossing my fingers if I ever want to wear it again unfortunately. Hopefully it was just this one dress and no one else has this problem.. I can always replace the zipper myself. Not everyone has that option though.Other than that, I do recommended this for a modest semi formal special occasion setting. It is a beautiful dress.

Nice
It's pretty. It fits me well (6ft 150 size lg). It's a thicker polyester at least. Not the cheapest and thinnest. It has pockets. Wrinkles came out quickly with a steamer. I would consider buying another one maybe for Christmas.

Not flattering at the top
Love the print, reasonable fabric quality and thickness. The shoulders are wide for the size, hanging about an inch from the shoulders. The sleeves are pleated at the shoulder, but the right side was more pleated, looking larger than the left. I had to return the dress.

wrong size entirely
The package said large. The dress said nothing. No tag, so I don't know if it's a packaging mistake. It fit like a small, thereby making it unwearable. Otherwise it was pretty nice. The fabric is kind of satiny and light. Too bad about the sizing!
