The dress is true brown paisley, and was perfect for cooler weather. There's an elastic waistband, and my only complaint was that it would bunch up a little bit from time to time and had to be pulled back down. I probably could have worn either size, but I'm smaller up top so I went with the smaller size for a better fit. I wore a regular black bra- the dress is lined and gives good coverage. If you already love Madewell you'll love this dress. I paired it with flats but there are lots of ways to style it.

I wore this dress for my bridal shower after my first choice was destroyed. The colors are really lovely and the material is nice. My one complaint is that the fit was weird at the bust and I felt it made my boobs look a little weird. This didn't show up in all of the pictures, but it did in some. I tried adding cups for a better fit, but it can't really be fixed. That said, I did feel good in this dress and other than the bust, I found it to be flattering. I'm glad I ended up wearing this one to my shower.

I wore these to a wedding and they added a nice little punch of color to my outfit. The color is very pretty. They were fairly comfortable to wear, too. I was able to make it through an entire wedding reception, with dancing, before I took them off.

This dress is gorgeous, and the fit is so flattering. I could have stood to go up a size but I'm smaller in the bust and so I went with the smaller size and went without a bra. I felt it was a bit snug but I actually had a friend tell me it looked like it "fit perfectly." For ladies with a smaller chest who also have hips, I would highly recommend this dress!

This dress is very snug and body con. I just did not feel comfortable in it. Definitely order the next size up. Also the fabric is on the thicker side- definitely better for fall and winter.

I wore this dress to my 30th birthday party and LOVED it. The print is gorgeous and even prettier and more vibrant in person. I smidge on the short side but for my height it worked out just fine.

I got these earrings as my "mystery bling" and could not have been happier with them. They actually look a lot heavier than they really are; I was pleasantly surprised. They added such a nice touch of glam to my look. I wore them to a wedding, so it did become necessary after a bit of dancing to take them off and stash them in my purse. But overall I loved them!

I got a size too big in this dress since they did not have the size I needed and it just did not work out. I'm smaller in the bust and it was just too big up top. If you are smaller in the bust make sure to order a size down as well.
