I purchased this dress with little hope that it would look good on me. I am 5'2" and due to health issues have gained weight. So, I hate to shop for clothes. I ordered this dress and I love it! The caplet helps hide my stomach and the caplet is attached partway down the arm so that my arm peeks out, rather than my whole arm sticking out. This dress would look good on a thinner person, but it is also flattering on a person that is not so small.
