I have always loved Maggy London and this dress is no exception. On the model, it looks clingy, but I ordered a size 10 and it fits me fine. I thought that I might need a size 12, but the 10 fits and is complimentary to my "muffin-top" figure. The fabric is stretchy, but not clingy and the design is very pretty. It does have a waist line but you hardly notice it because of the design. I am 5'4" and about 128 pounds. I will probably find a dressy belt to wear with this, but it is not needed. Put a black cropped jacket/bolero with this and you're good to go.Beautiful dress, fits perfect but overpriced.I bought this dress to wear to a memorial service, but it is appropriate for any occasion. It's beautiful, classy, and sexy all at the same time. Be advised that is you wear Spanx that the lining in the dress clings to the Spanx. This is my only complaint about Maggy London's brand. Otherwise, the quality of the fabric and the construction are always excellent.I Love this dress, you might need to order a size larger, it is snug fitting, Beautiful on, looks good with a black light weight turtleneck thin underneath. I also loved it because it came below my knees. At my age, they don't make dresses for the older generation. Got allot of compliments on it also. I love the price also. Maggy London dresses are always so stylish. The zipper is hidden when you zip it up. I like that part. I usually wear 14 in a dress, I ordered a 16 because of the fitted style.I love this dress. I wore it to work and got a ton of compliments. Wore it to dinner and felt very stylish. It is super comfortable and well-made. There is a black lining underneath that prevents the white parts from being see-through, a fantastic feature. I am on the lookout for similar dresses by Maggy London in other colors/patterns, because I love how this one fits. I normally wear a 2-4 in dresses, and purchased the 4 so it wouldn't be too tight.Wow, do I look great in this! I think it actually looks better on a curvy figure than it does on the model. I am in the 10-12 range or ordered a large. It fits modestly and would be appropriate for work. If I had wanted a more va-va-voom effect, I could have gone down a size. The material is stretchy but thick, making it very flattering. It's a little pricey, but I do love it.Maggy London makes a beautiful dress, in a lovely pattern, that slims, fits as expected, and garnered lots of compliments, all for about $100. The quality is the same or better than more expensive dresses. I was totally pleased with my purchase, and best of all, it arrived over night for only $5 more. Thank you, Amazon.I am 5'6'' , 107 lbs and wear a size 0-2 except for Calvin Klein. Everyone thinks it looks great on me, but I feel it is a little tight in the arms and through the waist. However, I love Maggie London, and after the compliments, I will continue to wear.
