I am 5.7.5" tall and approx. 260 pounds (do not judge). This is my second La Leela Caftan.  I purchased this one after loving the first.  Thus, I will leave some of the same feedback: I had plenty of room in the dress when I wore it. I probably could have purchased one size smaller. But I enjoy room to breathe in my clothing. I do not care for my clothing to be too fitted. I need comfort and a breeze to get through.  You know what I mean? Although you cannot see through the dress, I still recommend wearing a slip. I say this because the slip will keep the dress from riding into your backside.  Read between the lines. It serves as a buffer to keep everything smooth and free-flowing. The material is very thin and delicate.  So be careful.  I recommend handwashing these garments.  I have received many compliments on both of my purchases. I plan to purchase a different color sometime soon. Given how picky I am, that is saying a lot. :)
