Bought this after a LONG search for a flattering dress that wasn't sleeveless, clingy, or too short. That is amazingly hard to find these days. As a bonus, the waist actually hit my natural waist as opposed to hovering somewhere beneath my bustline. I am 5' 7" and the proportions were great for me. The length hit right below my knees. The dress is polyester and washed fine (inside out), though I did hang it to dry because I was worried that something would snag the lace in the dryer. I wore this to a wedding and received many compliments. It is well made and fully lined through the bodice and skirt. I liked that the lace edging around the neckline and on the sleeves was not lined so some skin showed but not too much. Overall a very flattering feminine and comfortable dress.I absolutely love this dress. I usually wear a size 12 and the dress fits true to size.My only issue is the length, being that I'm 5'1" the dress is extremely long. I am keeping the dress but I wish it was a 12 petite. The packaging and delivery was horrible however, I can't believe that this beautiful and quit costly dress was packaged in a plastic bag and stuffed in my mailbox....This is a well made, high quality dress for what it is. It is very comfortable and flattering. However, it is a bit on the long side and looks a little on the frumpy side. The photo seems to show it coming in at the waist but I would say it flows over the hips. The lace makes it dressy.Really pretty dress! I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful color and quality of the dress. The skirt seemed a little too full for me. I'm going to try to have it taken in because I really love the look of the dress and can see wearing this for many different occasions. I got many compliments wearing it.This was a pretty dress in terms of lines and cut (I found it to be somewhat generously cut-as I am an 8 and could have probably gone for a 6). There was just something about the blue that wasn't navy and wasn't royal, just didn't sit with me. And the lace. It just felt like too much lace.This dress was very cute, but way too big on my daughter. I ordered a size 2 and when it arrived, it was so large that I thought they must've sent the wrong size. But it seems like it just runs large. We had to return it.....This dress is pretty, but honestly at this price point I was expecting it to be a bit more well-made. The fabric inside felt flimsy and cheap, and the lace along the v-neck was longer on one side. I ended up returning it.Great quality and fit true to size. Was a bit matronly for my style though. Returned it.
