As it has some 'stretch' in the fabric, it fits a whole lot better than the medium size, so I'm very happy.
As I am only 5'3", I've had to shorten it considerably but it's all done now and now waiting for its first outing to a funeral or a smart lunch/dinner date!
I love the clever/flattering gathering around the waist, the 3/4 sleeve length is perfect and the neckline is ideal for wearing a string of my favourite pearls.
The lined dress is sensibly priced too!
Many thanks indeed.
