The cut of this dress is adorable! The style flatters very nicely - looks fitted in the right places and then flares to hide trouble spots without looking like a tent. With regard to some of the negative comments: Yes, it was wrinkled when it arrived. A few minutes with an iron and it was perfect. Wore it to a vacation and received many compliments. Will definitely order more for casual/semi-casual wear (I spend my summer in maxi dresses - this dresses up or down very nicely). I'm 5'3\" and 153 lbs. I typically wear a size 8. I ordered the Medium and it fit perfectly. A super cute dress for the money!
