It does run big, but that is a plus!

Found this in-store during a desperate phase of buying and returning dresses for an upcoming summer wedding. This style is the winner! It hugs at the bust, then gently flares to just above my knees. It flows over my broad shoulders and chest, 42B, barrel-shaped, 5’6, 190#(+/-) mushy in the middle, with thick behind and thighs. It has a zipper and a clasp, but they are not needed as it is cut generously, so I can easily slip it over my head. The fabric is a thin polyester crepe, washes and dries in the machine without need for ironing. Polyester can be staticky, but I sprayed it with wrinkle release, and it is not clingy. It is a bit see-through, so I will wear a slip since I’ll be wearing it in bright sunlight. If I were wearing the dress at night, I’d skip the slip. I bought the blue, will add some silver and pearls to glam it up. Very happy with this dress!

Alinedress

This dress was huge. It is 4 inches wider than another dress.

Perfect Swing Tank

I love this dress. It will go perfectly from Summer to fall with a jean jacket. Then add some leggings and wear it through the winter. I love the length of it, long enough for the workplace!

Runs big

Good quality but have to return because it is too big and long. I am 5'1 and like my dresses above the knee. They should not use a tall woman to model a petite dress. The dress barely makes it above my knee making me look dumpy. Please use petite girls to model petite clothes!!!

Comfy and flattering dress

I love this dress! It fits well through the bodice but has a lovely full, A-line skirt. It's the perfect length, just at the knee and looks adorable with a white sweater. The price is spot-on. I ordered my usual size and it's perfect.

Summer Comfort

Very cute dress. I get compliments every time I wear it. Note that it is very loose; I always belt it. It was perfect for those sweltering summer days!

Cute, but big

I am typically an XS. I tried on an XS in the store, but it was too big. I then ordered an XXS online- still too big. It just hung on me, but I am fairly thin. I think if you had a bigger build, it would look great. I think it would hide extra weight and look flattering.

Halogen petite sleeveless black dress

It’s very lightweight and versatile. Can be worn over swimsuit, with sandals, with belt, with heels, with sweater, or jacket. A very lightweight black sleeveless petite dress. Just slip on and go.
