surprisingly modest neckline
if you have a lot to hold in up top, this neckline will be your friend. (I don't, so it had a real "jcrew bridesmaid from 2004" look on me). The ribbon at the waist is also a little conservative, almost childish, so I'd also add a belt, but the skirt is just gorgeous and so flattering. Plenty of room and length as well.

long, stretchy, flattering
Like everyone else has said, it's super flattering, incredibly comfortable, and you can dress it as up or down -- it looked just as good with sneakers as it did with heels. & I was able to wear a bra without any part of it showing under the ruffle.

Perfect fit for tall pear shape
Rented for an onstage appearance and I was so comfortable in it. Fit like a glove, and it was incredibly flattering. Interior slip had some stretch to it which was ideal. The sleeves weren't itchy or irritating in any way.

GREAT fit and plenty of length for a tall woman.
Absolutely gorgeous dress, with really wonderful thick stretchy fabric and plenty of length -- I'm 5'11 with a curvy rear end and so always need a tea length to get knee length.

Looks like nothing on the hangar but EVERYTHING on the bod. LOVE IT.
The collar is great -- it has attitude, it's not dorky -- and there's a ton of length in the dress. The knit is thick with the right amount of stretch. Honestly, it's gorgeous, professional, conservatively cut, and hides sweat (I wore this to speak in public, an activity for which I always get super nervous and sweaty) like a charm.
