Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I generally wear a L to XXL shirt, and a 14-16, clothing-wise. However, my bust and waist measurements are 41" and 34", so I thought I'd play it safe and get the XXL. It's been my experience that lots of Amazon vendors skew small size-wise and the reviews for this dress echoed that. In this case though, I would have been better off trusting the size chart and getting the XL. The wrap-style bodice could use some extra boobage or girth, but the knit fit is forgiving, so the dress looks great anyway. Actually, this thing is cut and looks stitched together very well. Only time will tell if the construction is the real deal and holds up. What I dig most about it is the fabric. I worried that it may be one of those shiny, poly-forward knits, but nope. The texture is more on the soft t-shirt knit-side of things. And it’s heavy, so it drapes well. I like that and the way the texture mutes the print. I know the latter has been an issue with some reviewers, but I prefer it that way. To me, a shiny, hyper-color fabric and print would look and feel cheap on this style dress. I'm 5'6” and usually wear a 30" or so inseam and the dress falls about three or so inches below my knee, making it more of a true midi, which is another thing I like a lot.
