So I am 230 lb I wear 18-20 on bottom okay the hips are very present. Smaller upper body but a mommy pouch very present. This dress I bought in a 1x babyyyyyy my whole life changed. First of all I never buy anything in 1x but the reviews! I trusted it and they didn’t lie! It’s very nice and classy. The way it pulls you in gently and says girl just add some shape wear and we will get it. But to be honest I could go without. It’s very beautiful I am so happy I bought it!
