text: I wore this dress for my engagement photos; I wasn't sure what size dress I should wear since typically I can fit between a medium and a large depending on the material of the dress. For those women who are looking to try this dress, I am 5ft, 160lbs woman with a 38DD chest. I decided to buy a size up from the large, so an XL, because the material looked like it would be a snug fit. Thank god I did. The chest area and the stomach area were stretchy but it definitely was snug around those areas. however the sleeves were kind of loose for and the skirt was flowey so its really up to you and your preference. I have worn this dress numerous times since the photo session! its truly a beautiful dress :)
