Fit was a little tight across my back, I think because I'm a singer with a broad back and a nursing mama, so I always have that problem. The stretchiness and ruching was VERY forgiving for my post-baby belly, and very comfortable to sing in. I had read other reviews about the shoulder sash creeping up so I had my colleague safety pin it down in the back in three places so it would stay put during the concert - I recommend that to everyone, and that worked well. R the R might consider putting in snaps or hooks for the sash to keep it in place... I also dressed up the front with a brooch.
