Unexpected gem
Love this dress. The fabric has a nice stretch and is lightweight. If isn’t too thick. The fit is snug (I’m 5’5” and about 123 lb and this is a medium. I would size up if you want it too be a little looser and not a tight fitted shape but it has stretch.

It has a vintage yet modern feel, I plan to buy in more colors.

So retro
I adore this dress! Slimming cut , substantial fabric with stretch and lovely bright pink color.
The neckline is absolutely beautiful . It’s so hard to find this style! I may order more colors. I’ve ordered the rose pink and black. I am 5’3”petite 135 lbs usually wear 8 or 10. The L was tighter than I want at my age so the XL fit better. I will alter the lower portion to make a little slimmer and a tad shorter. This dress is an excellent bargain for the classic look.

Elegant and great quality
I'm 5'5.5", 137 lbs, bust 36B. Very small upper body with very large butt, exactly like JLo. Got a medium, which looks like a perfect fit. The fabric has a lot of stretch and is extremely forgiving in the tummy area during times of bloat/water retention. It does accommodate very wide hips. I agree with other reviews that this dress shape is especially made for hourglass figures. The sleeves are looser fit than necessary, but I am rather small up top, small shouldered etc, so I can see this fitting most people better in the arms and would probably look even better if I had larger breasts, there's room in the bust area without looking I'll fitting or loose at all, so great for accommodating me in premenstrual breast swelling as well. Great dress for sudden or seasonal weight fluctuations and that sort of thing. Fabric looks better quality than it costs and washes well when soaked, does not wrinkle much during drip dry.

how sexy do you want to look?
Let's start with the disclaimer: if you want to go full Joan Harris (see: Madmen) and wear the dress just PAINTED onto every curve, there's enough stretch in this fabric that it would easily be done. however, I would strongly recommend investing in Spanx or some other heavy duty foundation garments.

Now the nitty gritty: I'm 5'5", 128 lbs, 34B, 26" Waist, 39" Hips. As a woman who is 75% hips & thighs, I ordered the small and medium, just to hedge my bets. I could have gotten away with wearing the small, but I was purchasing the dress to wear to a funeral and pinup sexxxy isn't a good look when you're in mourning. the medium doesn't stretch so much around the hips and thighs, and as the old adage goes, clothes that fit properly are much more flattering. The style is suitable for the office, the fabric is substantial enough that it doesn't look super cheap, and it's comfortable enough for all day wear.

REVIEW UPDATE: Great Dress Overall, BUT...
FAVORABLE ASPECTS: Fits nicely. I am 5'3", 135 lbs/curvy and ordered a medium in this item. I ordered a small in another MUXXN variation and it fit nicely, too; so either size will work depending on the level of "snugness" you prefer.

UNFAVORABLE ASPECTS: 1) The dress arrived (on time) but had white "deodorant-looking" streaks/marks in three distinct places at the bottom of the dress (you know...the marks that appear when you pull something over your head and your deodorant gets on it)! Because I don't want to deal with all the hassles of returning/repurchasing, etc., I opted to try to remove the streaks with a wet wash cloth (white) and let it air dry. Fortunately, this worked; 2) I ordered the blue dress which appears to be more of a royal blue in the image, but it is actually and definitely navy blue; and 3) the washing instructions indicate "hand wash" but it is not indicated anywhere (on either of my dresses) whether it should be with hot, warm, or cold water. Of course, I default to cold water wash when in doubt.

OVERALL: Despite the above referenced flaws, I intend to order more MUXXN dresses for myself and others going forward.

REVIEW AMENDMENT:

Within less than 24 hours from the submission of my initial review above, the seller immediately contacted me inquiring as to what they could do to remedy the situation. Throughout their entire efficiently responsive communications, the seller "happily" and swiftly refunded half the purchase price of the dress to me ! As a result, I amended my star selection from 3 to 5.
