Review on ALILING Women'S Tie Dye Off Shoulder Maxi Dress With Ruffle, Side Split, And Convenient Pocket - Elegant And Sexy by Sheri Zhao

*** Update1. I looked over newer reviews when going to buy a fourth color and I noticed a lot of negative reviews that don't sound like the same dress quality. Make sure you buy from Ailing as there are a lot of other companies trying to sell the same dress, but I imagine it isn't the same quality.2. This is definitely a dress for girls who are shorter, which is nice because we don't have many maxi dresses that will fit us right as many are wayyyyy too long. So I think girls under 5'5" will the happiest with this dress with where the waistline, pockets, and hem hit on the body.3. The dresses have held up very well after washing so I am still very happy with them-----OriginalI was VERY impressed with this dress. I want to live in it 24/7. I have ordered a lot of clothes online and ebay over the years, this is one of my favorite purchases. It looks really cute, and the color and pattern is as pictured. Overall it is super flattering and comfortable.For reference for other buyers, I am 5'3", 45"-39"-48", 40D, usually a solid 16 in women's or 2XL in clothes as I don't like fitted clothing. I ordered a size down, an XL and it fit perfectly! I was nervous ordering a size down online, but after looking at other reviews and the question section, I am glad I did. It fits like a dream. It wasn't too tight or loose and IT WASN'T TOO LONG, IT WAS THE PERFECT LENGTH as the hem just skims past the tops of my feet (amazing for a maxi dress on my short stature). When I sit the dress drapes comfortably around my curves and doesn't cling. The elastic is comfortable and not constricting. The chest elastic falls right under my chest like an empire waist and then the dress a-lines out and slims the silhouette.The material is a soft thick t-shirt/ knit type material so you don't have to worry about it being thin or see-through, but still manages to be light and breezy for summer, it will hide all the bad and highlight the best. I personally hate short sleeves or sleeveless tops, and so I was happy the sleeves on this are ample and fluttery and reach my elbows. The pockets are a plus, I have a short torso ( like ribs to hips) they fall right under my hips. The slits are modest and only come up to right above the knee, and aren't very noticeable.Definitely buy this flattering dress for the summer, a maxi dress under $40 this nice for short plus-sized women of this quality is hard to find.
