It’s lighter than expected and has a nice little stretch to it making it very comfortable. You could layer a jacket over it to make a more professional look. It has some gathering/draping across the stomach making it very hourglass flattering and hides any tummy without the need for shape wear. I used a little hem tape to shorten the sleeves and a safety pin to make the neck lay a little more like a turtleneck as it was pouching forward. Very quick and easy. I’m short so the length was good for a work holiday party, but someone taller might feel like it was too short for that kind of event.

I’m curvy, usually I wear a 12 or 14 but I read reviews from other curvy women and ordered the Xl and XXL. I ended up wearing the Xxl. The xl would not zip right at the rib cage. There is not a lot of difference between the dresses imo. I did wear push up foam bra liners to fill out the top. I was really happy with the look and got a lot of compliments. As others said this is a bold sexy look especially if you are curvy. I’m 5’2” and was worried about the length, but was pleasantly surprised. I wore a low heel and it was the perfect length. I was able to wear flats later and it was still reasonable to walk. I did want to not it would have been very tricky to hem it with tape as it’s a double layer at the bottom and not all the same length.
