YES MA'AM
I am 5'11 3/4 size 14. I have very long legs and am shaped like a pear. I saw this in the store. Once I tried it on it was EVERYTHING you want from a dress for a full figured woman.
The fit is perfect when I raised my arms or bent down to pick up my daughter. When you are done moving around it still falls gracefully back into place.
With long legs I am very concerned with length in the legs and in the torso area. Many dresses are still short in the torso even if they state the are designed for a tall person. This dress has the torso length I need. The butt area doesn't pucker at the curve of my back ( I have a larger "C" behind)
The dress falls right at the knees for me and doesn't ride up too high when sitting.
This dress is worth every cent. I am going to get in every color.

poor fit quality
I LOVE Adrianna Papell dresses, I bought several others this season, all in the same size. This one just wasn't cut right (which probably explains the deeply discounted price). My normal size was way too big (different from the other AP dresses I've purchased this season), and the pleated waist is horribly unflattering. I won't be dissuaded from buying her dresses going forward, but this one is a bad apple.

Not suited for tall women
The dress is well made and loved the color. However, I am 5'10" and the dress hit me in the wrong place in the bust area. There is a seam and it went across my chest instead of hitting under my chest. Unfortunately had to return.

Not for Big Boobs
Okay so I was dying to get this dress... I've seen many national newscasters wearing it and it's always so flattering.
I love the construction.
I love that it falls just below the knee.
The pleats hide my muffin top well.
The color is great.
True to size EXCEPT... There is a line, like a shelf where they want your boobs to go and if you have bigger boobs it cuts them in half and it looks like you've stuffed 4water balloons down the front. And that then makes like a 2 inch gap under the armpit so that your bra shows.
I even bought a bigger size hoping the alterations dept could fix/pin/work a miracle but the lady told me it wouldn't look right.
Sooo.... Moral of the story; pass this one up if you've got stuff up top.

Classic sheath
This dress fits beautifully, hits at the knee, which I like, and has interesting detail. I ordered size 10 and it fit perfectly, which is unusual as I am pear shaped (really a size 8 on top, 10 on bottom) and some labels have a very tight bottom in size 10. This fit smoothly over my hips - not too tight, not too loose.
Fabric is of a nice weight and looks expensive, not skimpy, and dress holds its shape but "moves" well and is not stiff.
The color is closer to a dark periwinkle - even navy - than as pictured as "iris."
I wear with a cardi, short jacket or shrug if I don't want to bare my arms during the day. At night, with bronzer on, I wear it sleeveless.

Wore it to my brother's wedding. It fit perfectly. It was lined and the material was very figure flattering. Got many compliments on the dress!! Great dress for a great price. Real winner!!

Great red dress
Love the color, style, and fit. Only issue that can be easily fixed is that the skirt hem hits just below my knee, and I will have it altered about 1 inch so that it hits just above my knee. I am 5'4", 125 lbs and ordered a size 4. Looking forward to wearing the dress!
