First of all, in case you don't know, cameras really mess with the color red. Up front, I'm going to tell you that this is a nice cherry red - no orange tones. On my monitor, the close up with the label color is most accurate. Yours might be different, so keep that in mind. Festive? Ya think? We have a collar, big red buttons going all the way down front, curvy silhouette, wonderful flounces at the end of each sleeve. So here's the problem: it's stated size is medium but someone shrunk this. It measures small. There is some stretch to the wonderful lumpy knit, but be careful because too much stretch will cause gaps between the buttons! There are no flaws and here come the measurements: bust 36 inches unstretched Waist 32 inches unstretched hip 39 inches on stretched Length 35 inches sleeves 22 inches. Offers always welcome.
