I ordered this dress from overseas and really crossing my fingers it would be ok because I can’t return it. It actually is a nice, classy dress, I got the green lace. Definitely for the price range it fits the bill. I’m a size 12/14 and ordered the Large. It fits nicely and it’s lined but I’m not used to clothes hugging me this much so perhaps the XL would have been a bit more comfortable for me. The cleavage is very flattering and I think it makes me look smaller which is nice. The XL would have been roomier but perhaps too big, who knows. Either way I’m happy with the Large. I just won’t be able to eat a lot because it’s tight already. I think sitting down will be ok though. The zipper does seem weak so I won’t try to close it myself in case it rips off!
