The heavy silk fabric of this dress is stunning, and the deep orange-red color is gorgeous. But! The dress was too baggy, with gaping arm holes and extra fabric at the hips. I tried the 34 and 36, and I was swimming in the 34. I am petite (5'3") and curvy, and my husband said it looked like a very pretty sack. So back it went, unworn - I suspect it would be better for taller, fuller busted women. One other thing not called out in the dress description: this dress has two pockets at the hip, which adds extra fabric at the hips too.
