Dont get me wrong...I LOVE THIS DRESS!!...but I wear a 16 and I ordered an 18 and I received a 22. The dress is a little big on me but not too noticeable. This is a comfortable and flattering dress for a plus sized woman. If you're a bit of a pear or hourglass shaped woman, youll look fabulous in this dress. Its scoop neck but doesnt over do it on showing too much cleavage (shows just the right amount). The material feels soft and must have a little spandex in it. It just looks really good on me. I wouldve given it 5 stars if I received the right size.
