I absolutely adore this dress! It's unbelievably cute and the fabric feels incredibly soft. I typically wears a size 14/16 or falls under the large/X-Large category and the size of this dress is absolutely perfect. The material has a nice form-fitting quality to it and offers a bit of stretch, which adds to its comfort. However, if you have a belly like mine, I do recommend wearing spanx with this dress for a more flattering look. Just for reference, I'm 5'4" and weigh 208 lbs, and I can confidently say that the sizes provided below are accurate and reliable.
