As others have commented, this dress is wide open at the chest, and I frequently found myself showing my bra/stomach during business meetings. Not OK. Needs pins or zippers.

Fit and flare was nice but kept popping open at the bust (and I'm not huge, D cup).

This dress was exactly what I hoped it would be. It fit nicely and hid my pregnancy bump, and looked professional for a work conference. I liked the length which was just at my knee (I'm 5'9). The pattern was ultimately not that interesting, but didn't need to be for this purpose.

This was rather short in the torso. I sized up a size or two because I'm 5 months pregnant and just starting to show. The blouse was very large in the chest area but short on the sides, so the top of my pregnancy jeans was impossible to hide. Recommend for women with short torsos.

Loved the dress. I'm quite tall (5'9'') so was worried it would be too short for a formal affair but it was just right: flirty but still very classy. I usually wear a 6 on top, and could have done so here but got the 8 because of others' comments that the bodice and arms were tight. Although I thought it ran true to size, I wasn't unhappy to have a slightly larger and more comfortable dress.
