I bought this dress in blue as a size 5L, and it fits me beautifully. I am 6'2" 230 pounds and it hits just above my knees, which is fine since I wear a full petticoat underneath it; I love the fact that the skirt has plenty of room to flare out. The dress is not itchy, nor is it too light or heavy, I believe I will not have any problems wearing it out on Halloween. The apron threw me for a loop, I did not realize the button holes on the side but if you see them and the buttons you will be able to figure it out.
The four buttons on the front do not actually go to anything, and they are sewn on kind of weird; they tend to face downwards. If I choose to I will fix them. The bow is kind of lame, but I am wearing the dress just like the picture, with black stockings and heels. The on thing I did not like is that there was no fabric care tag on it, but it is Polyester 65% / Cotton 35%.
The shipping was pretty good, it arrived one day after I expected it. There was a US national holiday while it was in the US so, that did not bother me.
I would have rather purchased the dress in black, but the blue is growing on me. The blue is a nice deep blue that is just slightly darker than the picture. The bust and the waist have a little bit of extra room, which is good. All in all, if you are big like me and you are looking for a dress like this, I would get it. If they do make a black one, I may just have to get it. I had a very pleasant experience with no hassles or any problems what so ever.
