I'm 5 foot tall and 205 pounds, so that makes me short and chunky. This dress (size 3x) fits perfectly! It's a little long for me, but nothing a quick hemming job can't fix. It makes me feel slimmer than I really am since it just drapes over my chunky curves. I don't like my clothes tight, so this dress was just perfect. I have gotten couple of compliments the dress itself. I like to wear it with an open front knit sweater or cover so I can hide my shoulders and it looks just great like that.
