So let me tell you ladies this dress right here is the occasion dress, very elegant I just need a good Spanx to keep my rolls, and smooth me out, this is a really nice dress and true to size, I wear size U.S size 16, 2xl but I decided to go up a size and am glad I did the dress fit like a glove, for reference I am 5ft 6inch 218 lbs, bust 46-47 waist 43 hips 47, hope this helps, please like my comments I need the coins to purchase something, thanks a lot.
