It is not tight under the arms or too wide a neckline. I can slip this dress on and I wear it with a long eyelet trimmed cotton half slip that fills it our even more. Quality stitching and strong seams. Beautiful color, and easy to wash and care for. I tumble dry for only a few minutes and then hang on strong hanger and smooth the fabric with the flat of my palm. I smooth the seams and hemline. Then let it air dry. It looks great the next day. It also responds well to a light ironing or steaming.
