I'm 5'8" and this dress was way too long. Such a shame because it was a great shape, print and otherwise fit overall!

I ended up having to wear a loose 18w because the 16w was slight snug (could zipper it but was a little tight). Otherwise, the dress is very pretty - silver and lavender with a great texture and print. Flattering fit and style, I'm holding onto it for a few uses!

I wore this for our wedding rehearsal and welcome party. It was perfect - great fit, comfortable, flattering and who doesn't love pockets?! I wanted to keep it but the price tag was a little more than I could justify. But I'll be renting it again for sure!

I was so pleased with the dress, it was perfect for my shower. Flattering, good fit and shape for a plus-sized woman, and I love the contrast of the lace and the mesh.

This dress was amazing and perfect for a semi-formal wedding. The skirt wasn't quite as full as the picture (which was a good thing in my book, that was my one concern) but was so much fun to dance with given it did have a little volume - my fiance kept twirling me! The fit is flattering for a larger woman and as others have pointed out, it's great that you can wear a normal bra - makes an already comfortable dress even easier. I paired it with some fun accessories and it was effortless. I highly recommend the dress, I'm looking around on the internet now to see if I can find it for purchase it was that great. And as for fit, in something more structured I'm typically an 18 and the 18W fit well with some room for plenty of dancing so it's true to size.

Beautiful gown that would have been perfect but it unfortunately did not fit. I am normally a 14W sometimes 16W in work dresses and jeans. Not the case in this gown, I ended up with a 20W that didn't fit and no option for a larger size. The problem area was my hips so if you're especially curvy in the hip area, definitely go up at least 1-2 sizes. I would note that another designer dress I ended up with wasn't that much smaller than a 20W so I guess in formal dresses, it doesn't run that far off, it just does from daywear sizing. Either way, go up at least 1 size but if you can, it's worth it, the dress is fantastic.
