★★☆☆☆
Versatile dress but beware of the dye!
I'm 5'2", 122 lbs, and ordered the medium in black. Very easy to wear and very forgiving. I found that I could either wear the dress as is, down to my knee, or fold it up around my hips if I wanted it shorter. Either way the cut and fabric had a very slimming effect. Also, I could switch the front and the back, depending on whether I wanted a deep neckline or not, so it's rather versatile! Took off one star because the cap sleeves do not lay flat on the shoulders; they seem to be too large or too floppy, so I solved that by pulling them up over my shoulder and pinning them, making the dress sleeveless instead or cap-sleeved. Be aware: the care instructions say "Wash separately. Dry clean recommended." I handwashed the dress and a lot of dye ran off, so do not wash or dry near anything that may get stained. Overall, great dress for the value. UPDATE after wearing it a second time: I wore the already handwashed dress a second time to a family event. At the end of the evening, I found my freshly manicured gel french nails all stained black (see photo). Tried alcohol and nail polish remover, and could not remove the stains. I now have to go to the salon and have the gel manicure removed before it's time. What a waste of money! Sure, it has a flattering fit, but beware of where you sit, what you touch, and what color manicure you have on! I'm not sure I can risk wearing this dress again, since it could be embarrassing if it stains other people's clothes, furniture, or linens!! Downrated from 4 stars to 2.
