While I like the fit and the idea of this dress, ultimately I did not like the colors and the pattern. The weird thing is that I still can't be sure if the dress I received was dirty or if some of the streaks were part of the pattern. Also the background green color is really like a forest green and the bright green flowers are almost neon green. (I thought they were more like an emerald green and a spring green respectively.) The combination was a bit jarring and the dark forest green didn't feel feminine enough to match the romantic flowers. Size XL is great for size 14 and 5'8" height. I essentially bought the same Karen Kane dress in black and love it.
