What blew me away is this dress its cotton. I am 5"10 220 lbs and i usually wear a size 16 dress. I bought this dress in a XXL and it fits just fine. a little snug but nothing unbarable. I loved the shape and feel of this dress. it was such a great buy and i just adore it. I got it for Viva Las vegas this coming april 18. And i cant wait to rock it. Pics to follow soon if i can add later. if not ill do another review with pics soon!
