I'm 5'4" 135lbs (37.5 (32DD)x26x38), I got this in a 4 and it fits very well. The dress hits me just below the knee and the tie is right on my natural waist line. There is a snap between the breasts that helps keep the wrap closed. I was afraid it'd be a little baring like the silk wrap, but the snap is placed about 2" higher. I'm busty and my breasts sit high on my chest, but I did not find the top to be too low cut (I'm fairly conservative in my dress). The 4 is a tad loose, but it looks nice, I don't think I'd size down.
The material is very light weight, it feels like you're wearing nothing and it's wonderful on a hot day. It's a bit transparent. You don't need a slip, but be aware of the color undergarments you're wearing.
This arrived a wrinkled mess and it wrinkles quickly with wear, mostly on the seat from sitting. I needed to iron it when I opened it (rayon setting, dry, wrong side). Ironing the flutter sleeves will also make them more flattering and lay nicer instead of sticking out.
Overall, it's nice. I like it, it's flattering on me (I'm a pale brunette with an olive based skin tone, cool tones look best on me) and I'll be keeping it. I feel that it's highly versatile and could easily be dressed up or down. Since the colors are so muted in this dress they can all be treated as neutrals.
It's a shame about the dry cleaning though. L.L. Bean, rayon can be treated before it's sewn making it washable by hand, please consider doing so in the manufacturing process in the future.

I was quite happy to see this dress marked down and couldn't wait to try it on. It's very well made and quite light and lovely. The snap at the neck is the perfect touch to keep it closed. The fit is true and the dress hangs niceley. Unfortunatley, like another reviewer, the color of the dress doesn't work with my complexion.

I really like this dress. It fits well and it has a little button on top so that the wrap stays closed. It is easy to dress up with some sandals or I like to wear it with a jean- jacket and flats to run errands. I get so many compliments when I wear this dress!

I love the cut of this dress. The fabric was better than I expected (dry clean is a bummer but..). As much as I wanted this to work, the colors just don't do me any justice. Looks great on the model...

Rated 4 out of 5 by LikesCuteClothes Perfectly Appropriate
This is one of those great dresses that is perfectly appropriate at a number of functions - work, church, family events, etc. This is the perfect balance between conservative, comfort and cute. It covers just enough without feeling frumpy. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because of the sleeves. The sleeves seem to flutter a bit too much for me, wish they would lay down and drape a bit more. However, I did notice the sleeves improved after I took this to the dry cleaners. I ordered a size 2 my regular size. It fit well and even had a tiny bit extra room to grow. The true wrap dress style makes it easy to adjust the fit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by FrumpFighter Fantastic flattering wrap!
Bought this almost as soon as I saw it. Vertical stripes on a true wrap dress? YES PLEASE! It hangs beautifully on the body, the hidden snap closure is a great asset. I love that it's a true wrap so that it customizes to your shape. I gave it 4 stars only because I wish the sleeves were slightly longer.
