This dress was exactly what I needed. I was officiating my goddaughter's wedding and the bride and groom requested that I wear silver. It is classy, elegant, tasteful. I have very large hips. I bought a size 16 and it fit perfectly. The jacket rests just below the waistline in the back and laid nicely across my large derriere. The clasp on the jacket is a nice detail and quite practical in keeping the jacket closed. The sequins are a nice dressy accent. The length is perfect. The material is comfortable, a bit stretchy (so it is forgiving for full-figured women), breathable. It arrived in a timely manner. This is the exact dress I was going to buy from a department store and I purchased it at a considerable discount from what I saw on the department store website. I highly recommend this dress. A++ Overstock!!!
