I purchased this dress to wear for my cruise. I bought a XL & im 5’8 180lbs. I was so amazed at how comfortable these dresses were! I really wish they had other patterns that I want, or even long sleeved dresses for the winter. These dresses are so flattering on. The fit was perfect. Very comfortable and flowy. Thanks to this dress, I have actually felt beautiful when I wear it and that is such a great feeling.
