I am usually between a 2x and 3x and this size 24 hangs perfectly but hides what you do not want to see. I was able to wear a comfortable smoother underneath that did not make me miserable. This dress has just enough bling and it covered my arms enough to make me very happy even though it was see through.I love this dress, but I don't have much luck with having long dresses altered. I'm 5'6" and most brands fit just right. I ordered two from this brand and both were too long. Even with heels they are way too long. It's too bad because I loved both of them!Purchased this dress for my daughter's wedding. It is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't fit like a sack, and it looks good on a plus size person. I do not need any alterations! Nice material and just beautiful! If you sometimes wear two different dress sizes, order the larger of the two.The dress looks exactly as pictured (minus the stains mine arrived with!). The size was spot on and the beading was very pretty. If you have a large chest know that this will lift the draped beaded portion way up. So if your wanting to cover up your belly and hips, this would not be a good dress for that.I’m a busty woman! This dress is beautiful and flattering! I bought this for my daughter’s wedding in November! I would recommend it!Beautiful dress for my son's wedding. I have recieved a lot of compliments. I ordered the grey. It has a slight brownish tint. If you are looking for a true grey or bluish grey this is not the dress for you. I am wearing a shoe with a 3 inch heel, no hemming needed.Was a nice gown wish it was a little longer I’m tallA perfect dress.Very nice, affordable and great fit.
