This is an ideal dress that will carry me well into fall in the southeast. This dress straight out of the package fits and looks great, and I can tell I will love it. It’s flattering, comfortable and fits true to size. It is a class shirtwaist dress. I used my own belt, and I’m going to remove the belt loops. I am the shortest waisted person I know, and the belt loops were next to my bra. That’s a little high!
