Wow, was this big. I'm 5'9" with a swimmer's build. Almost always I take a large or XL in tops. I swam in this dress. The top gapped at the armpits and the bottom looked like a bell was hanging from my waist. Will try a size smaller. Material is great, but a little heavy for mid-summer.

Comfortable dress. Material is thicker than it looks in picture but appropriate. Hides little flaws. There's a shelf bra inside that's more like a sports bra, very constricting. May need to order size up if busty. Also nice little flat zipper pocket on one side for holding an ID.

This is my go-to dress in the summer for casual outings. Very flattering and comfortable. I have it in black and bright pink and will probably order another color. Can't beat it...and it has a pocket!

This dress was a weird fit for me. It was skin-tight and showed my (small!) pot belly. The skirt flairs out and hangs loose which looks strange after such a tight body fit. I'm 5'4, 115 lbs and I got the Small. I think a Medium would have fit me big or shapeless because the dress doesn't really have form except for the flared skirt, but it's possible that maybe I should have sized up. Apart from that, the dress has great elements to it, like the side zippered pocket, and the nice crossed back detail. The material is pretty thick though.

I'm 5'9" and weigh 143 pounds. Based on the reviews, I ordered the small and it fits perfectly. It is very form fitting at the bust and waist but not too tight around the thighs. It finishes just above the knees. I like the thick material but I am curious to see how well it will keep its form after a few washes. The color is a very bright fuchsia pink just like the picture.

I agree with almost everyone. I found it flattering, especially because the fabric is thick and the length a bit longer that most, but I understand it could be unflattering on some, especially if your tummy is an issue. I found it ran somewhat large. I'm an L or XL, depending, and the L was body equals hugging, but not too tight. You could wear it on a picnic or wear it to a casual Sunday brunch. Very comfortable, well-made and versatile.

I love this dress. I ordered 2 different colors in 2011. They hold up really well, are comfortable and I get a lot of compliments on them. I am normally 8...hourglass. Ordered medium...spot on perfect. Would recommend.

This dress is cute! Heavier fabric makes it work for school (with a cardigan) Washes nicely! I'm 5'7" 150 pounds and the large fits well.

This dress fit really well and was comfortable, but it was just too short for my liking. I'm 5'8" and it came about mid thigh. I prefer closer to the knee.

I bought these shoes for a trip to France that involved a lot of walking. They were great! They fit perfectly and were totally comfortable all day long. I could barely feel the cobblestones beneath my feet. My feet have never been happier!

Too narrow for a "wide" shoe. I have big, bad feet, Thank you, Zappos, for your selection and service.

I bought these because, with a business casual environment at work, I wanted something comfy but not sporty. I could walk all day in these.

I love this shoe. It's so comfortable. I have bad knees, so I need a shoe with good support. This has it, and doesn't scream "sneaker", so it's very versatile.

Wholly Cow! Finally what I've been looking for, New Balance comfort in an almost-shoe looking sneaker! Great arch support, nice looking, good sole, the only negative was that I had to order direct from New Balance to get a 6 Narrow, what's up with that, Zappos?

This is an extremely comfortable shoe. Feels like the shoe propels you on. Great for a wide foot, and looks good enough to wear to work.

Love these shoes, it's so hard for me to find comfortable shoes as I wear orthodics and also have hammer toes. I would recommend these!!

Love this product! Outstanding comfort for my feet. Have had problems with other shoes with my problem feet, but these give me just the support I need. Worth the price.

These are fantastic shoes for walking. They are extremely comfortable and perfect for when I need a dressier shoe than my athletic looking walkers.
