Definitely not made to go up thick thighs and butt. I purchased a large and x-large is sold out, so unfortunately I have to return it with no exchange for another dress. The diamond bands don’t allow much stretch. I also didn’t like the fact that the feathers and diamond were falling off the dress before it can be worn. Dress price is way to expensive for that to be happening. If it did fit, I would’ve brought it to a alteration shop to get everything fastened. It’s also sheer! I’m 5’7 180lbs. I’m a pretty solid build, thick-fit.
