This is a beautiful dress and if your not a Plus Size woman it would work great. I'm a size 16 5'6" curvy with a belly that I keep spanx on to keep it looking like it's snatched. I usually wear 2x on here without issue but I wanted a dramatic flow to the dress, therefore I sized up to a 3x. Tried the dress on 1st - it appears to be a pull on through the very high split put my head through and right arm in the sleeve couldn't even get my left arm in. Absolutley NO Stretch whatsoever. 2nd - Duh, I found a zipper hidden under the left sleeve of the dress. I was happy, I figured, now I'll be able to get in. Nope, not a chance. Why is the zipper there, I have no idea. 3rd - the opening to put it over your head is 29 inches. I measured it. That's how badly I wanted this to fit. The 3x is not a 3x, it's not even a 1x. It's not for Plus Size women. I took pictures to post but it didn't give me an option to post. Man, I really loved the look and feel of this dress.
