This dress was very soft, smooth, comfortable and it has a liner which helped big time since I wore this dress in the winter!! I got a large I am 196 pounds and 5'5 1/2.
Now the dress will fit very snug if you get a large. I actually felt I could have went up a size to a XL. However, since the material stretches pretty well I was able to still put it off and the dress was stiff comfortable!
I wore mine with a lace crop top since I have a little bit of a stomach. This look came out great! The good thing is even if you have a bit of belly you can still rock this dress with a crop top, blazer, or cardigan and it will look great!
