I needed to find a bridesmaid dress at a reasonable price for my sister's upcoming wedding. I did a search on amazon.com, saw this dress,read the reviews about sizes and wasn't sure if I should purchase it. Well, I did in the lavender color. I usually wear a size 16 or 16w so I decided to purchase a size 2x. Its a little roomy in the underarm area(only reason why I gave it 4 stars) other than that, it fits fine. It comes with a chiffon scarf as well. You will need a slip underneath. Overall,its a very pretty dress!
