Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am 5'5", 195 lbs, size 14, size 36D chest, 32" pant inseam. Pictures of dress are before alterations. I am in love with this dress!! I have a fancy event coming up, but didn't have a large budget. This dress to the rescue! The fabric is soft and flowy but not slinky. The pleating in the front and back is very flattering. The length is perfect for my 4" heels. The back comes all the way up, and under arm area is very modest and doesn't show bra at all, even before alterations. The only problem, and it's likely not a problem for others unless they are short-waisted like I, is that it's a little too long in the upper torso area. But simply taking up the shoulder straps by 3/4 an inch solved this problem for me. I may need to take in the underarm area a tad as well but I haven't decided yet. Because this isn't likely to be a problem for someone with an average or long torso, I didn't take a star off. I do wish the dress had pockets! That would definitely take it up a notch, in my book.
