Flattering fit & flare black & white floral dress

Perceptions petite, but it is a midi dress and I am 5'7", and it is right on my kneecap, like at the bottom of it, so it says 8P, but it is an 8, no reason for it to be petite. The lines all stick out, so they add to the slimming quality of the dress, and it looks very good on, and respectable, for a brunch or church, it a dinner party, shows off your curces, slims your waist. Not lined, very stretchy material.
