I have recently lost a lot of weight and wasn't sure what size I would need. I requested the 16 and 18 but ended up wearing the 16. I have worn an Adrienne Pappell dress previously (size 22) and loved the fit. This dress did not disappoint. NOTE: The lace top section is sheer, so you'll need a strapless bra or clear straps. I opted for clear. The length was perfect. I am 5'2" and wanted something that covered my fat knees. Also, some of the other pics from others who wore the dress show some sort of belt or tie. I thought that was cute and planned to do the same thing, but once I tried the dress on, the waist doesn't sit AT your waist. It's actually about mid point between your waist and boobs, Sotheby's women that wore the belt must be very short waisted. I'm not very tall, but a belt would not have worked for me.

It's not easy to find a dress that fits well when you're a size 22. This dress was not only comfortable, but it fit well. The size 20 also fit, but I wore the 22 because I didn't need spanx with it. The arms are slightly stretchy so it doesn't appear as if the dress is too small or too tight. It hugs all of the right curves and hides the ones you want. I attended a formal event where Glen Beck was in attendance. His assistant had on the exact same dress in green, which made me smile. An excellent experience and I would definitely recommend this dress to all shapes and sizes.
