Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The positives - I bought this in green, and the colour is beautiful. The fabric is lightweight, but substantial and I saw no issues at all with construction - it's very well made. I'm a size 14/16 with a 42inch bustline (with bra) - and ordered the 3XL. The length of the dress was good - it came to about ankle-bone length on me and i'm 5'5". The top portion, from neck to just below waistline (and sleeves) fit beautifully - just loose enough to be airy/comfy without looking sloppy. My personal take on where it flares out at the hips is that it was just a bit TOO much for me personally. You can play a little with how it sits on the body to not be so poofy at the hipline, but the dress is flowy and will return back to wanting to stick out a bit. I wanted to love this dress - and while there was so much to LIKE about it, I couldn't justify keeping it as I didn't love it. If you're not super hippy, or don't mind "hip attention" depending on how this sits, then this is a win. Also, I didn't see mentioned in the description (maybe I overlooked) but this DOES have pockets. Definitely a plus. :)
