Love it but it runs a tiny bit small
This is everything I was looking for in a classy black dress that would be suitable for somber or conservative occasions. It's perfect for a funeral or meeting the Pope. I think 3/4 sleeves are universally flattering, and the midi length is quite elegant. The notched neckline is flanked by two little pleats that add dimension and interest. The fabric has some stretch but isn't clingy. It is forgiving of any lumps or bumps you may have. If you are short waisted, the inset waist seam should be just right for you. Us long waisted gals are used to having the waist seam ride up on our bottom ribs. I always try to hide that with a stretchy belt. The side zipper is a bit of challenge to navigate, especially through the bulkier waist seam area, but it is manageable. I'm 5' 6'' and about 125 lb. I usually wear an extra small in dresses but found this XS to be just a bit too tight in the bodice and the upper arms. I ordered the small and it's a perfect fit. I think this is going to be a wardrobe workhorse and for a fantastic price. I've ordered a couple more in different colors. Read more
