I am 5 feet 6 inches tall weighing approx. 150 pounds. I generally wear a medium to extra large depending on the garment. I ordered a medium based on comments. I love tunics/t-shirt dresses as they are comfortable, great to wear with leggings, flip flops, everyday wear or rolling up for traveling etc. I also love cotton and find it harder and harder to find. I LOVE that this is 100% cotton and I could wash and dry it and it did not shrink. I am not sure if I will be keeping this. I may see if I can hem it straight across to cut off the strange scoop at the bottom and shorten it just a bit. I want to try a large, however, I think it will be even longer and the shoulders on the medium are already a bit lower than where they should be. I might see if I can have someone alter the large, but may be too much trouble with the shoulders. I get to the point where I may as well either make my own or have one made to my measurements/liking. Update - tried the large, again I am approx. 5' 6" 150 pounds and long waisted - the large fits like a giant, shapeless potato sack. The shoulder hangs way too far down, the length is down to mid knee. It would be very nice to choose a pic. that represented an average female body rather than a 6 foot straight up and down body. I love cotton and I am always on the look out for something cottony/comfortable/female cut with decent fabric (not too thin) such that it does not ride/hang over the wobbly bits - it is nice not to wear a girdly/spanx etc., especially on warmer days or even just to be comfortable yet not disgusting. Please find some average humans to use as models to make something like this. THANK YOU!!! As it is a rectangular shape and I am not, it did hang over my hips in an flattering way, I tried it with cotton slip under it and this seemed to help. The idea is to be comfortable and without girdly/spanx etc.. Pros: Comfortable 100% cotton material Can wash and dry with regular laundry Was not horribly wrinkled after removing from the dryer (this is great - pull it out and put it on!) Can role up for packing/travel etc. The material is not too thin Great for everyday wear Could be used as either t-shirt dress, nightie or swim suit cover, with or without leggings Price is good (note: it does cost a bit more for a larger size with some) Could be dressed up or down Cons: The shape is boxy, rectangular, straight up and down, unlike many women's bodies which are a bit more a-frame Rolled up sleeves - would rather have the option (for some it is nice to keep arms a bit covered) Tails/u-shape on the ends/bottom, it kind of resembles a night gown Medium size is a bit long for someone who is 5'6" with a long waist - it is designed for a 6 foot tall model, straight up and down Shoulders seems hang down a bit longer than expected for a medium on someone of my size Preferences: A bit of an a line, a bit wider at the bottom Option to role sleeves up in order to have the option for a bit more arm coverage No tails on the end, just a tad bit shorter and or offer various length options (model is almost 6 feet in small, the dress is down to her knees) Keep in mind, many of us are not straight up and down, 6 feet tall) If it were a bit more femininely styled (a line) it would be very nice to have some additional colors and patterns (Maybe it is best if you don't make it exactly as I would like, I might come back for too many more, like making my french fries extra crispy!) Pockets Shoulders that don't hang down too far (it starts to look slouchy and or ill fitting) Please notify me if you make an a-line in 100% cotton - thank you!!!
