Great for casual fall evening out!
I am a pear-shaped size 4-6 in most dresses, so I ordered this in small with medium as my back-up. The small looked better on my top half as it was more fitted, but I decided to wear the medium because it was looser and more comfortable on my bottom half. In the larger size, I found it to be a very forgiving cut, and perfect for going out to celebrate a birthday with a big meal! The fabric is a heavy knit, but not very stretchy. The print is fabulous, just as pictured. I wore this dress on Saturday night with tan riding boots and a denim jacket for a casual dinner out. I wore it again on Sunday to church with a cardigan and dressy cognac boots. I liked how this dress looked and received a lot of compliments, but I would only recommend it for casual use. It is not dressy enough for most events.

Stunning color!
This dress was such a beautiful color in person, more vibrant than the photos show. Several people complimented the color. The fit was good, but I am 5'3" so the length was longer on me than it shows on the model. I am small-busted (34A), and the top fit well, but I did use fashion tape to prevent my bra showing if I bent forward. I wore a regular bra, which is always a plus! The dress was comfortable. The fabric required ironing, but once done, it draped nicely.

Wore it to a winter wedding.
I wore this dress to a daytime wedding. Because it was December, I wore it with a black cardigan until the dancing started. The dress has a pretty metallic detail in the fabric, and although it is above the knee, the fullness allowed for it to be almost knee length when sitting (not creeping up the thigh like a sheath would)! The dress is comfortable and pretty. My only issue was that when I was packing it up to return it, I zipped up the back zipper and the lining along the zipper split! Be careful with the zipper if you rent this dress!
