“I can't believe I dislike it so much!”

“I read the raving reviews about this dress and thought: it looks like a choir dress. But I NEED a choir dress! I sing with a professional symphony and as I am pregnant, wanted something that was one piece, didn't wrinkle much, was lightweight, and looked a little snazzy. The dress is cut awkwardly to say the least! The neckline is strangely high and is uncomfortable against my neck. The stomach area, as duly noted in all of the reviews, is rather - huge. I mean, when I put it on, it actually looks like they put an extra panel of fabric for someone who carries weight only in their midsection, but is appropriately sized everywhere else. As I am an hourglass figure, this does not work for me. I was hoping I could just have it taken in a bit, but it is constructed so oddly in the stomach it's just not worth it. The slit comes up to above the knee in the front, which the interesting ruffle does sort of hide. I found this dress to be unwearable due to its innate design flaws, at least for my body. I considered it for when I am larger in my pregnancy, and it is still cut poorly. Again: not a maternity dress, but almost like an extra panel which *hangs* in the belly if are of anything remotely like a 34/30/34 proportion. Very disappointed in this dress, but thankful for STP's awesome return policy as always, and good price to begin with.”
