Shows off the chest and legs
If you're planning on wearing to work, rethink if you're large chested. The length is short but you can get away with it wearing higher boots and tights.

Airy dress with great cut outs
I was concerned when I saw the cut outs but the way they are positioned I felt comfortable wearing this at a work conference. It was light and worked well for the conference and walking around a hot city at night. Loose enough to accommodate a bump

Fantastic dress
Great for work events or a night out. Sleeves could be a little annoying at work if you're on your computer all day but it was light and adorable.

size up if you're pregnant or big busted
The dress was cute and normally a 6 works for my 5-6mo pregnant bump, but this was tight and I was constantly checking the buttons to make sure my stomach wasn't showing and readjusting so it sat right on my chest.

Well made, great summer dress
worked great for a conference I attended while pregnant. It was a little tight on the bust but any larger would have swallowed me.

A great choice but make sure you get the right size!
I thought this dress was classic and I got a lot of compliments but it definitely required Spanx and I thought it was somewhat unflattering on the arms. The 40 fit everywhere but it needs to hit you a little large on some point so that it remains flattering.
