I love the dress and I have a similar one in tan that I bought in the summertime. That one I bought 2X and it was so loose that I purchased another in a 1X and that one still has plenty a room. So this one I bought in the 1X and it was very hard to get all over my chest (40DD) and my arms. Once I got past there going down the rest of my body my stomach and my hips and my legs were no issue. Which I find strange because I am pear-shaped. I am very large stomach and butt and legs. Again, I feel like this dress when they manufactured it and we’re going up to the plus size they didn’t allocate for kept the arms. The fabric doesn’t have much stretching in arms or across the chest. I don’t mind wearing something form fitting, but this was uncomfortably tight in the arms and chest . I’m not sure if ordering a larger size will help as I think it’s just a design issue with the way they made it. If you have very thin arms, but our plus size the dress should still work for you. I realize bodies come in all shapes and sizes. That’s why I wanted to go into detail. Has I feel returns with fashion?Nova are difficult because you have to pay for shipping and they only give you a store credit from past experience. So I never return anything. If something doesn’t fit, I just try to find a friend that I think it will fit.

Love the fit of this
