I was looking for a dress because I have a brand new tattoo that needs to be hidden and I have a wedding to attend (and I don't want everyone to see my raw, healing upper arms). After browsing several stores in two malls, I gave up and came here. I'm so glad I did because I found exactly what I was looking for. For example, I'm 5'7\", 150 lbs, and have a 34\" waist: the medium is perfect for me, and still fits the large due to the elastic waistband and roomy chest. It's a good material. Overall, it looks pretty classy and is comfortable even for long wear.
