Here is my edit based on my most recent purchase - if you wear this style of dress from Amazon, you’ve likely discovered that some are cut with less girth in the body - this is one of the more narrow styles. In the wider styles, a medium fits but I prefer the ease of a large in the hips. In this style, the medium is too tight on my hips, and the buttons pull most unelegantly. But I ordered the seafoam green (that was a daily deal) in an XL, and I actually prefer this fit. I'm not sure how well the bottom button will hold up once I’m crossing my legs (etc.) but the fit is more flattering while still being just as easy. If you're bigger in the hips and fairly proportionate on top, this is the better cut. The XL in the wider cut has lots of extra fabric in the shoulders and bust; this XL is fitting better and being more flattering compared to the large in the other. The following is my original review: I have several of these dresses. I love them! This most recent purchase, red in August 2023, is an entirely new cut. It is narrower, the pockets are off, the sleeves are tighter. Some of you will like this. Some of us do not. Material seems to be the same. Maybe the seller could change the item picture?
