Verdusa Women's Plus Size V Neck Lantern Sleeve Midi Belted Bodycon Dress - Flattering Figure-Hugging Formal & Party Wear for Curvy Women

I don't normally wear plus size clothing, so I would say these run smaller than U.S. sizes. I am 5'6", recently put on a lot of weight (now 178 lbs) and most of it in my midsection, 36DD bra size, no significant hips or booty. So, a moderately busty apple figure. Usually wear a size 10-12 or L/XL (depending on the brand) at this weight. I got the XL Plus in black.PROS: Wow, the cut is super flattering. I actually looked more hourglass in this dress and less like a sausage with boobs. The cut of the dress is great. I wasn't sure how I would like the sleeves, but I love them.CONS: The neckline is way too open, so I had to wear a sheer camisole underneath. Luckily I have one that is ultra thin. Also, the fabric to me is just two levels above Halloween costume material, as is the stitching. If the light hits it just right you can see a bit of the silhouette of your legs. At first glance it looks like nice fabric, but when you look closer it's...hmmm....which is too bad because I would pay a bit more for better fabric and stitching because the style is so great. In any case, I wore it to an evening event and it looked great!
