These dresses are comfortable to wear and as high of quality as more expensive brands on the market.  The dress is long and may need to be  for individual under 55 if you are not intending to wear heels. I am 55 and 165 lbs and a large was ok. The x large fits also with less accent of mid section weight. Very comfortable while still looking nice. I paired with a jean jacket vest for a contemporary look. The lavender grey color is beautiful.
