As other reviewers have mentioned the waist part is really high, so if you have any chest at all, it kinda rides up really high. I got a larger size than normal because of reading about this, but it just doesn't fit right. This would be much better if it had a stretchy material and a lower waist. Was hoping for better.Its good if your wanting just a simple thing to wear out, but a bit confusing when getting the ribbon inSo pretty! Amazon suggested a med-lg so I went with large "to be safe". It was sent USPostal and took a couple weeks to arrive. Upon opening it, I didn't even have to try it on. The waist was way too small for me and didn't actually hit the waist (bellybutton area). It's an empire waistline. Had I realized that, I would've measured for my bra-line/ribs and ordered a 2XL.I'm 5'3", 165-170lbs and a Large does not fit. Hoping to get a replacement in a better size.My daughter loves it but has to wear leggings because if she bends or squat her butt would show.Did not fit my daughter like she thought it would. They are not true to size and since it was purchased and shipped from a vendor outside the country I don’t know how to return it.I so wanted to like this at the $8.95 or so it cost, and it even fit just right (size up, ladies!). But alas, I just look like a pirate. Yea, the plaid is very on-trend, but something about the handkerchief hem and the lace-up bodice makes it read total "pirate costume", lol. It would be too complicated to try to return this thing, and would probably cost twelve times the cost of the dress to ship back, so I'm keeping it, but I will try to cover the bodice lacing with a wide obi-style belt or something like that to try to make it look a little less costume-y. It's pretty, but juuuuust this side of a bit too, too. The bodice lacing was what initially hooked me, but is also what makes it a bit much. It would be really funny if you weren't thinking "pirate" before seeing this review, but all of a sudden now you do- I tried this on for 3 different opinions, and it was only AFTER I told them I felt like a pirate that they said "Oh man, why did you have to say that? I didn't think that before, but now that's all I see! So proceed at your own risk. Potential to look really pretty, but also can look costumey. I I got the blue color for reference, BTW.This ran a little bigger than expected. Had to take in the sides. The top is a stretchy nylon. The skirt is a thicker flannel. Looks cute.I ordered two dresses from this listing-one in green Plaid and one in black and white.The black and white dress is called 001-gray. My normal size is Large so I ordered up based on other reviews and got a XXL. I’m glad I did because the XXL fits perfect. For reference I am 5’5”, 180 lbs, and 36 D. I think the dress is cute and fairly flattering but I added a belt because I didn’t care for the flimsy string that laces up the front. I posted pics with and without the belt. Fabric is just okay-the top part is sort of a polyester feel and the skirt part is like flannel pajamas. I haven’t washed it yet so not sure if it will shrink. Overall worth the cheap price but be prepared to wait a LONG time for shipment from China.The Green plaid dress is far inferior to the black and white style. I ordered an xxl in it as well. It’s very boxy and awkward, much less flattering too. The waistline is way to high and looks like maternity height. I made it work with a belt so I could wear it for a Christmas gig, but felt uncomfortable all evening. Shipping took too long to bother returning to China. I’ve posted pics of both dresses with and without a belt.
