This fabric has ZERO stretch, so if you are plus sized or have a DD+ cup and/or wide wide under bust (wider back), this might require you to size up. Also, if you have larger upper arms, the sleeves aren't very accommodating (size up for sure!). The quality of the dress for me doesn't seem to be like others who have left reviews. Mine was nicely made. It's a really pretty dress. I'll keep it and maybe one day I'll drop a couples of inches and wear it...
