Metro print dress

I got this in a 16 and it's pretty snug. I don't know if I'll be able to exchange it for an 18, I'll hang on to it for a bit and see...
The crossover on the neckline does come up really high. I was actually tugging it down which is opposite of the tops I have like this; I'm usually pinning them to keep it up, even though I have a large bust. It's also pretty snug across the back. This isn't too noticable though, due to the forgiving print. The hem comes up about an inch or inch and a half or so above my knee and I'm average height.
I seriously thought about having it cut off at the bottom and just making it a top. I also thought about shortening the sleeve to elbow length as it seems so heavy. But all of these may be due to the sizing problem.
So I'll wait and see if I can get a larger size before I do anything, or have to decide to return...

Nice material. Like the design. I'm 5'7" 125 lbs. Size 6 perfect. To the knee when standing. Full coverage while sitting. Great price today.

Perfect for travel - I took it to Turkey, where the population is relatively conservative. Perfect! I wear it to business meetings with a black jacket. Perfect! I wear it to church. Perfect!
The fabric is not too lightweight. The neckline is modest but flattering and modern. The drape is lovely, the length is...perfect!

This has become my 'go to' dress! The v-neck is perfect for a necklace and frames the face without the worry of inappropriate cleavage. I throw it in the washer and hang to dry; no wrinkles, pills, or shrinkage.

I got my usual size, P10, and it fit fine except that the skirt hit me above the knees. And I have short legs! This would be ok for a younger woman, but I'm in my 60's and like to wear skirts no shorter than knee length.

Ladies, I got this in a size 6, which is what I normally wear, also wear P6. The drape was too high in the 6, fit was all wrong, so I sent it BACK. The dress is nice though, so I reordered in P6, and drape is PERFECT now., couldnot be Happier. The dress does not overpower me now. A Winner.

Almost kept it, but dont want to fix it. I have a similiar dress, so I can afford to send it back. Nice, true to fit, but an odd fit. Too much drape on top, I am petite and it overpowers me, but may work for u.

Got this in the mail today, and it is wll made, true to size, BUT the fit is odd. It is almost matronly on me, and I am 66 years old. It is bit too high, and a bit off on the drape. But maybe i can take a few tucks. and maybe just a belt. Nice dress, but not sure if I will keep it, but i am hard to fit, so----

I bought this for work and I love it. The side gathers hide a less than perfect waist and the neckline is not revealing. Very well made and professional for the office. It looks great with a black cardigan or jacket. I highly recommend this dress!

I LOVE this dress. It is perfect for work, comfortable, and flattering. As I've lost weight over the last year I've bought 3 of them in ever decreasing sizes. Please make more of this style in other colors!
