First of all, I'm so happy RTR has plus size now. I've been wanting to rent forever, but nothing would ever fit me. I ordered this dress in 20W and 22W, thinking I'd definitely be wearing the 20W. Ehhh wrong, I ended up in the 22W. I normally wear a 1X in shirts and a 22 in pants, so when I wear dresses, they are always a size 20 - this was my first 22, but I was just glad one of my dresses fit. The arms are kind of tight, but I wouldn't be concerned because I have pretty big arms and they were fine. Also, the dress is a little on the short side, so if you're a bigger girl and your legs aren't your strong point, you may want to consider a different dress or wear black tights (I wore the tights). Overall, this is a beautiful dress. The color is much more gorgeous in person and I got a lot of compliments. It's heavy and well-made and it was so nice to wear a dress I really loved rather than settling for some Lane Bryant dress that I only bought because it fit.
