This dress is a bit tighter than I had expected, but it's still cute! The velvet fabric has a nice thickness. I would be careful with the mesh part, as it seems a little fragile. I was nervous about the neckline being weird because I have a thick neck, but it fits around the neck appropriately. I am 5'4, 220, 42DD. My tummy definitely shows, but I think if you're a lil chunky, and OK with some tummy showing, then I would say this is a solid purchase!
