Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So first I wanted to say that I've been sewing 30 years and for this price I couldn't have purchased the fabric and zipper. It's a 65% cotton / 35 poly blend. It's a light weight knit with 40-50% stretch across the bodice and only a bit of give in the vertical direction. This makes for a very comfortable tee-shirt-like fitted bodice and flowie skirt. I'm uploading a picture of the inside seam to show its a 4 thread serged seam. It's good for knits that need seams to stretch with the fabric as the garment is worn, and at this price point it's not expected to be constructed with more reinforcement. You could run a safety stretch stitch along the sides or around the cap sleeve area if it's going to be worn often but be sure to use a ballpoint knit needle so as to keep from seeing puncture wounds (holes!) In the fine knit. I've seen some reviews complaining about the fabric; unless they received a different dress this cotton/poly blend is soft, comfortable and easy care. Hand wash in woolite or in a mesh laundry bag on the gentle cycle and it will wear nicely for a long time. I don't know what the expectations of the haters are, but seriously, for the price this is a sweet little dress that flatters and feminizes. I have a short torso and need petite sizing. This dress is not labled petite, but its fitting just as great. The armholes are not gaping, and the torso length fits just right from shoulders to waist. I've gained weight over the winter and it settled in my mid section and yet this dress gives me an hourglass silouette. It's a keeper.
