If you want to feel like an ethereal, pregnant garden goddess this summer, this beautiful embroidered dress is for you. This is the spiel I would give a good friend to make sure you get the right fit (because buying online is a crap shoot!):

• NEW WITH ORIGINAL TAGS. NEVER WORN OR WASHED.
  
  
• If not pregnant, think of this more of a US size 8-10. When I tried it on as a size 6, it was definitely too big, but no one thought it was a maternity dress. Just a little more empire waist-y, I suppose.
  
  
• Length: ~62"
  
  
• Flat chest measurement from armpit to armpit is ~17.5" (Full chest would be ~35")
  
  
• Arm holes measure ~8.5" from shoulder to armpit
  
  
• Lining and shell 100% polyester (the light, flowing kind)
  
  
• Lining has a slight stretch to grow with you. Shell does not stretch, but is loose, and will reach as far as lining will.
  
  
• Fully lined except the shoulder blades and bottom of skirt, which are sheer (see pictures)
  
  
• Closure zips the butt to the lower back.
  
  
• Three button closure at the back of neck (original spare button included with tags)
  
  
• Undergarments recommended: skin color strapless bra and skin color underwear. A skin color slip for the extra modest.
  
  
• Washing instructions: the tag SAYS you can machine wash inside out, but I would opt for a garment bag or hand wash if you can to maintain the quality of embroidery and fabric. Definitely delicate/hand wash cycle in machine.
  
  
• Embroidery features flowers and birds.
  
  
• Colors are so plentiful and vibrant, it offers amazing options for makeup, nail polish, and shoe matching.
