I needed a dress for a summer wedding and “all occasions”. This dress more than fits the bill. Excellent fit for me at 5’5 165 lbs. I ordered the Large. Perfect. I am 67 years old, rather large-busted, but still believe I have a good figure for my age. This dress does not feel “too young” for me, yet I can see a much younger gal wearing it and loving it because it has classic, but not dowdy, styling. It is a little longer than I expected and hits me just above the ankles, a true maxi length. I may decide to have it shortened later…but I know I will only wear something that is comfortable, practical, and looks great on me. The packable, wash & wear fabric plus in-seam pockets complete the practicality. I love this dress and would highly recommend!
