Perfect for afternoon wedding. I am 5'6" and 225 lbs and purchaed size 24. It's a bit large on the top but not so you'd notice. Hem is just to the ankle with 2" heels. Very flattering for plus size pear shapes.It was as for a wedding, but just to long for meVery nice dress.Did not get to use it for my granddaughters wedding.This dress is so beautiful. It’s made so well. It’s lightweight and soft as a hankie. I reordered it a size down. I definitely will be ordering the other prints. I feel like a princess in it.The pictures online bear no resemblance to this wad of cheap fabric masquerading as a dress.It’s shapeless, and the neckline is even more uneven than the hem. The sequins are poorly sewn own, and some were broken or loose.A flour sack would have more style & shape. This is quite simply the ugliest mess of a dress I have ever tried on.This is the first time I ordered a dress online. I am thrilled that I was able to purchase such a quality product for a very reasonable price.beautiful maxi dress, nice pattern of the design and is beautiful for a day, night or anytime wedding or special occasion
