Ruched Midi Dress

I am 5' 4" 130 lbs 36dd i got the medium fit perfect. a bit long but i need that so i expected to get it altered. i am 65 years old and fairly good shape, so this was a nice dress i could up with jewerly also. please people when you review clothing, put your measurments in because it is sooooo helpful

This dress is perfect, flattering and a thicker jersey so it is not sheer. I repeat - IT IS NOT SEE THROUGH. And did I mention flattering? Because it's flattering, beyond flattering. So. Dang. Flattering. You might ask, "can one be in love with a dress?" and the answer is a resounding YES. YES YOU CAN. I AM PROOF. I am 5'7", 34DDD, 29" waist, 41" hip and ordered a Large. True to size. Amazing. AH-MAZ-ING. I ordered the Pinot and now will order at least 2 more colors - black and olive. Or grey? OR ALL OF THEM. It is so versatile. I might faint from excitement. BUY. THE. DRESS.

This dress is a great weight, can be dressed up or down and has the perfect amount of stretch. I liked the length and it can be longer or shorter by scrunching the stomach area up and down a bit. I'm 5'6" 125 lbs and ordered the XS, it's a perfect fit. I ordered black, olive green and burgundy and only kept the black. The olive green and burgundy are much more washed out in person than the color indicates online. I'd like to see this in brighter colors - blue and a Kelly green or evergreen.

This is a great staple black dress for Fall/Winter. I bought this based on a blogger review and I'm glad that I did. It's Michael Stars, therefore its their typical jersey cotton material. It has a lot of stretch and is form fitting. I am usually a solid 8, but I ordered a large in this dress. I probably could be fine in a medium, as I love the fit. It stretched out slightly after a few wears, but reshaped nicely after washing. It's not going to be a crazy high end quality dress, but it's versatile and can be dressed up or down. Happy with my purchase!

This dress is cute but way too tight for me. It fit - but just too "body con". I have other Michael Stars dresses that are body con but this one was a miss. I returned it. I would say it fits TTS but is styled to really hug like a sausage casing. The ruching doesn't help.

Love this dress! I’m 5’ 9” 135 28 years old and fairly athletic although i have had 2 kids. I ordered a size small and it fits tight but that’s how i wanted it to fit. The rouching adds just enough to camouflage anything a little extra. I was a little bummed that it is a bit see through.

O-M-G! This dress is so sexy without being classless. It fits the body perfectly in all the right places and accentuates your figure. I am between a medium and large because I have DD breasts, so purchasing anything for me is a challenge. I have a medium sized waist and hips, but large on top. Normally I have to buy separates except in knits. I have purchased several items in the past few years which are "body-con," and depending on the brand I am able to wear an 8-10 or 10-12, depending on the cut/fabric. I am an older woman who works hard at keeping in shape, but need sleeves and the longer length otherwise, I look ridiculous - like I'm trying to dress like my granddaughters. Not classy and not tasteful to me. This dress in the X-Large fits like a glove! the top fits without stretching across my breasts, the ruching on the sides allow a body-skimming, but still fitting in the hip area. For the price, this is one of the best dresses I have purchased ALL year, and I have spent up to $900, on other high end designers. We travel a great deal and attend many social functions which require "cocktail" attire in dressy-casual to elegant evening. I can pack this dress and wear it to both with the right accessories and shoes. LOVE IT! It's a FANTASTIC value!

I bought this Michael Stars body con ruched dress in a size Petite XS and it fits like a dream!!! I usually wear a size 2, sometimes 4. I have an athletic build, not very curvy, but not completely a "ruler either, small chest (barely a 34B,) and to be blunt have a flat stomach. I have this dress in a regular size XS (not petite) and at 5'3" tall, I had to have it shortened by about 2 1/2" in length. The petite XS length hits right under the knee perfectly. This dress does hug your stomach and booty so keep this in mind. I hope Nordstrom continues to carry this brand in petite sizes as they are hard to come by. A great dress at a reasonable price. Thank you Nordie's --- you are the BEST and my favorite store to shop in/online.

Originally ordered in M based on other reviews but returned for a small. Med had too much fabric in mid section. 37 yrs old, 5’7, 133, lean build. Small fits perfectly.

The dress is body hugging and the ruching hides a few sins. I especially appreciated this as I've gained a few pounds and surely don't want to emphasize that! But, it's also something that will look good if you drop a size. I bought the large but would usually wear a medium.

Great Michael Starr yet again. Wish Nordstroms would carry more of this brand. It is comfortable and flattering. Neckline just low enough to be attractive but not too revealing. It is long, I am 5'5" and it is low calf length. Can make it casual with jean jacket or dress up with heels and jewelry. Very form fitting.

Everyone needs to be aware that the chai color is not a taupe/ medium brown as pictured....it's not even close! Not even a beige/ nude. In reality, it's actually light baby pink. Which I am fine with! (because I wanted a neutral color dress) Just wish there were better picture representations of the true color. The fit and length is spot on for a midi dress. Absolutely essential dress basic you can dress it up, or dress it down depending on the day. Would buy more, but wonder if the other colors are reflected appropriately online....
