First off, I do want to say that as a big girl, I feel confident and SEXY in this dress and that is SO hard to find. It is flowy and the color/pattern is gorgeous! It hugs me where it should and is loose where I would rather not draw attention. The fit is *slightly* larger than I expected. I usually wear a 2X top, size 16/18 pants so I ordered a 2X. I could have gotten away with a 1X, but I'm happy to have the room. This dress is definitely a head turner, even on a plus size body!A couple minor things I don't like about this dress:It is somewhat see-through. I simple fix would be a slip or if you're a DIY girl like me, sewing a slip in to the bottom half. With that, I went out into the breeze with it and it stayed down decently, but a full-on wind won't leave much to the imagination.Second, the area around the breasts and arms is a little bit loose, even on my 40D/40DD chest and boxy shoulders. Not a deal breaker for me, but if you're smaller chested, your dress will not fit well here. In my early 20's I'd rather have a lot of cleavage showing, which this dress does, but at 34 and married, I feel a little exposed. I guess I'm just not used to showing so much boob anymore, but it's flattering none the less.In conclusion, if this dress came in additional colors, I would purchase another. I love it and after a couple simple alterations, I'll be rocking this one as often as possible this summer!!!
