So my mom is 5'6-5'7, 250 pounds and carries her weight in her thighs, chest but she does have a bigger belly. I purchased this for my mother in a 3x. I am slowly upgrading and giving her a more colorful wardrobe that has more style. This dress is absolutely beautiful. It looks exactly as pictured when you receive it. The belt is a great touch. It's light weight enough, not see through and flows so nicely. You can really wear this dress for a multitude of occasions. My mom loved the dress and looked great in it! She really did enjoy the color and how comfortable it felt and the material feeling soft on the skin as well. It came down to the top of her feet so she will not need to hem it. Amazing dress (my mom is 74 years old soon to be 75 but doesn't look it at all so this to me, says something about the versatility of Fashionova having something for all ages!)
