Had to attend an brunch with a mandatory dress code of "garden party", and it's hard to find flattering dresses when your the only plus-size gal there. I also bought a petticoat to fluff out the skirt, and I was ready to rock. Very soft and stretchy fabric and flattering high waist made this dress fun to wear in summer heat. Would recommend for other curvy laddies to buy, and a must have for any closet.
