I like bigger clothes for comfort. At 52 with 35DD chest and 34 waist, this was huge in XL!! I could have bought a M.  It fits below my knee and the waist is huge! I don't care though because I use a belt and it is one of my favorite work dresses paired with boots. Very hippie country take on it. Many compliments! I can dress it up or down. Looks good to teach in at the college and still great to head to the park. Love it!
