I'm 5'6\\\", ~220 lbs, and range from a size 20 to 22 in dresses, depending on cut. I love this dress. It's true to size, very comfortable and not see-through! The pockets are really fun. It was also easy to add accessories and trendy shoes to give the outfit an edgier look. I got lots of compliments the first time I wore it. I will admit that even though I gave it 5 stars, I am a little concerned the material may pill over time... but so far, so good!
