I bought this dress in the purple print and the solid red to wear when I go out with my Red Hat Society group. I wore the purple print to work on a very warm day and got lots of compliments. I normally wear a 1X, but the dress was so big I had to re-order in a size M. I kept the 1X to use as a swimsuit coverup - it is ENORMOUS.

I ordered 2 different sizes - XL and L - I usually wear XL. The XL was HUGE! The L was also very large. I could have fit 2 of me in there! I didn't keep either size - even though I loved the feel of the fabric and the look of both of them.

I could only recommend being willing to try several sizes in order to get the right size that fits you.

Very nice fabric, washes well. Great style for women with bigger hip to chest ratio(I chose the size that would fit my top). Print is better in person than photo with nice shadings on the flowers. Bought two different colors and found that the fit was slightly different on the two--one was a little bigger around the neck opening. If you have larger upper arms, the sleeves are roomy and long enough, too.

When I find a style I like I usually buy several in different colors. I dress them up/down with jewely and type of shoes depending on where I'm going. I use ( I have 8 of the colors in this style)I'm a large girl but am complimented on every one of them from all ages-youth thru adults;male/female. The easy care of the material-is very important to me. You can't go wrong !

 
I would buy again!

Now this dress I can rave about. The ONLY thing I did not like was that it's NOT 100% cotton. Can't quite figure out why the polyester mix, cotton in a style and thickness like this usually never needs ironing. Anyway, I LOVE the patterns. I LOVE the COLORS. I LOVE the FIT. This is a truly flattering and comfortable dress, without being sloppy or huge. I LOVE the LENGTH. I have longer dresses, but end up really liking this length. I bought one in every color and would have purchased more, if they had more, like a teal, peach, lavender, green, I could go on. I LOVE the sleeve length. I like sleeves that come to my elbow, they are far more flatter
