This dress is going back. The aloe is much brighter than it appears in the picture. I could live with that; it's hard to get a good sense of color from a picture. It is too big--even though I used the fitting guide, this was much too loose at the waist, but that was okay. The tipping point is that the material is practically see-through. When I tried on the dress without a bra, I could see "everything" (and I have a small bust). When I tried it on with a bra, and then with a camisole, the outline was visible and looked tacky. I've been using Overstock for years, and this is the only time that I've had to return something.
I ususally wear a size 6 or 8, so I ordered the small. I was hoping it wouldn't be too small, since I'm on the edge of small and medium. But when the dress came, it was a tent. Seriously. It's labeled "small", but it could fit both myself and a group of my closest friends. At the same time. With room to spare. I am SO definitely returning this item because it is so huge, it is beyond the alteration skills of even the best tailor. I can say that the color "capri" is beautiful, though. But that's the only positive thing I can say about this dress.
The dress was perfect for my daughters wedding. It fits just great !
The other review about it being larger than advertised is absolutely correct. I'm glad I read the reviews before purchasing. I ended up purchasing the dress a size smaller than I normally would have and it fits wonderfully well. The waist is loose, but not so loose it looks like a tent and the material just drapes on you. The skirt of the dress floats away from the body and has an overall very nice look. The only bad thing I have to say about this dress is that it does not fit true to advertised size.
