I love long, flowing clothes, so thought that this item would work well. (Ordered the beige, as it was the only color left.) The beige & red was a severe look on me, & the sleeves are too 'Cruella DeVille', - out of place for a seemingly romantic look. It was returned, but I've ordered the magenta in Loulou's other caftan. I'm hoping that the punch of color will brighten the look. I found this item to be true to size.
