I agree with other reviewers who said this dress had a strong smell. If it hadn't fit me so well, I'd have returned it in a heartbeat. Instead, I washed it six times on its own and that mostly got rid of the smell. Now I'm letting it air out to see if that will take care of the rest. Here's hoping for the best.My figure is quite lopsided - size 22 on top and size 16 on the bottom... I usually am forced to buy for my bust size when purchasing dresses and it leaves me looking/feeling fat even if I add belt to gather in all the extra fabric below, or if I try on something closer to my waist size, my cleavage come flying out at the wrong time.. It is VERY rare I find a dress that flatters my shape and still corrals my breasts in an attractive manner.This dress does it. I bought it to attend a memorial service and it was totally appropriate for the occasion. I moved and bent and socialized all day without any bunching or readjustments or discomfort. The neckline looks nice on me, interesting and yet classic. I wore a simple strand of pearls and they were framed perfectly, this dress will easy to dress up or down with different jewelry... The sleeve length is nice too. I felt like I looked great all day long and never once worried about my appearance... Better yet, I looked shapely and beautiful in all the family photos.Now for the best news... I am sure this dress runs just a little large. It's drapey and stretchy enough to hug the curves in a pleasing way. I would have been better off with one size smaller, but even then, since this is a true wrap dress, it fit me fine and I was able to cinch it up to make my waist well defined even though it was a little big. This dress travels in the suitcase very nicely too, no wrinkles or fold creases at all. I do plan to wear this dress quite a bit as my "little black dress" over the upcoming holidays. It looks great on me.Bottom line is that I do think it's a little overpriced for what it is and what it's made of. If I had seen it in a store I may have thought twice about buying it, but since I was in a hurry, didn't have time to shop and needed a quick dress delivered overnight, I suppose it was worth that convenience... I'll still wear it plenty of times in the futureLovely dress with flattering neckline & overall fit. I wore it to a wedding rehearsal party and got several compliments. I feel this style is flattering to most any plus size body shape, whether curvy in the waist or more round, as I am the latter & it still looked good & was complimentary to my figure. The only downside I found was the price - it is simple wash-n-wear rayon, and I would expect to pay maybe $35-$40 at Target or comparable for a dress of this material. Wayyyyy overpriced, but one I will definitely wear again (to get my money's worth!) as it is easy to dress up or down with hairstyle & accessories.Wore this to a wedding and received tons of compliments. Everyone kept asking if I'd lost weight. I this k this has become my new favorite dress. Super comfortable as well.This dress is amazing! I tried on dozens of dresses in the store ... too short ... too tight ... too loose ... OMG who designed this? ?? ... etc.I decided to roll the dice on a wrap dress purchased online. I liked the look and I was fully prepared to return it thinking it'd be way too big or cheaply made. But it's fabulous! I'm 5'4" and about 210lbs. I got the 0X and it fits beautifully. If I were 10 lbs. heavier I'd need the 2x ... but it's adjustable so I just tie it where it fits comfortably.I paired it with a corset to tuck my rolls in so I'm all smoothed out and it looks great! I'm going to find any excuse to wear this awesome dress.Big girls can look good too!This dress is super flattering, and extremely comfortable. However, I found it to be just a tad loose in the bust even after following the sizing chart. On the positive, my Mom is a little bigger in the bust than I am, but we wear the same size. So I gifted it to her. She Loves it and wears it all the time!This was a bit out of my price range but I think it was perfect for what I needed. I am a flutist and cellist and I needed something this caliber for concerts - just make sure you have tights!I have never owned a wrap dress but it very comfortable and awesome!The only negative that makes it a 90/100 for me is that there was a lot of cleavage. Always a problem for a 38 H but it wasn't overwhelming.This dress is the best dress I've ever owned! I was trying to decide between this dress and the Danika Draped Dress by Kiyonna for my daughter's wedding in June. I bought both and tried them on, and I couldn't believe the difference. The Sweetheart dress flatters every curve! The wrap comes around right under the bust and does a really good job of hiding flaws. Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments on it. The sweetheart neckline is a little low and a little wide, I wear a camisole with it so the low isn't a problem, but I sometimes have a problem hiding my bra straps on the side in front, which a camisole doesn't really help. Overall, this is a perfect dress! I need one in every color!
