Above expectations. Did not expect much for the price, tbh, but I love this dress! Nice weight to the cloth, not too heavy, not too thin. I'm a big girl - 5'4\\\\\\\", 185 lbs - and i bought this in size XL, and it fits perfectly. Not too clingy, hides the rolls. The dress barely scrapes the floor barefoot (again, I'm 5'4\\\\\\\"), but i put on a pair of 2\\\\\\\" espadrilles and it is the perfect length! I feel it can be dressed up or down. So pleased that I took a chance!
