This dress hugs in all the right places! 1 year postpartum, 190 pounds 5’6” and I bought a large. I feel like my belly looks so tiny in it that I don’t even think I’ll wear a binder underneath! The color is more of a burgundy then a red but not quite burgundy exactly, I’m in love with the color though and the fit although the armholes are a bit tight but besides that this dress is absolutely perfect and worth every cent
