I ordered this dress about 4 years ago, when I was a size 20, which is what I ordered, and it was too small to hang nicely - was super clingy in all the wrong places. Now that I'm between a 16 and 18 (closer to 16), it fits very nicely. I wore it to work for the first time today and got a ton of compliments. So, order 1-2 sized larger if you'd like it to fit like it fits the woman in the pictures. I got the black with slightly larger white polka dots and the fabric itself is nice, flowy, stretchy but the polka dots are printed on and a bit stiff. I haven't washed this yet, but I'm going to be cautious and NOT put it in the dryer - hanging to dry should help preserve the dots. Overall, a super cute dress, comfortable and I'd wear it out for a date with the hubs as much as I'd wear it to work (with the neck safety-pinned a bit higher). The neckline is pretty low, as it hits very close to the center of my bra, so just know that it's not modest. I'd like to buy another one after I lose some more weight!
