**Runwind Plus Size Floral Maxi Dress for Women - Flowy 3/4 Sleeve with Belt - Elegant Summer Beach & Wedding Guest Outfit**

I read numerous reviews and checked out photos before deciding to order this dress, and when my package arrived (just two days later), I was not disappointed! The fabric, a lightweight but tightly-woven knit, felt like silk! The drape of the fabric is perfect. It has just enough stretch to glide over your body yet show your curves. So flattering! I would recommend a body smoother since the fabric is more on the sheer side (not see-through) and could show those lumps and bumps if you ordered a snuggly-fitting size. I had ordered a size up, since so many items online are sized smaller than they should be. However, this dress has just the right amount of stretch, and it skims over my body in just the right places and flows out as it drapes down.I am 5'5" and weigh about 255-60. I ordered a size 3XL, and it fits quite well. If I wanted a snug fit, I could have fit a 2XL nicely; I prefer my clothes to have a little room to wiggle. ? The dress is floor-length, but worn with my 2" heels, the hem in an inch off the ground.Talk about an elegant dress! I am wearing mine to church in the morning, but this dress is nice enough to wear to an evening event like a on a cruise or to a wedding.The very few wrinkles it had from shipping fell out after hanging a short time, so I'm betting it will be great for travel.Here are the only negatives I'm seeing: I bought a black dress, and the stitching is widely spaced and done with white thread. If it pulls at all, the white thread is exposed. I will probably run my sewing machine along the shoulder and side seams at the bustline using a slightly tighter stitch and black thread. I think that will elevate it even more. Also, the dress has no loops for the self-fabric belt, which is so silky that it slips a bit and doesn't stay at the high waist seam. I will probably either tack it on at the sides or use a different belt. On a minor note, the dress came out of the packaging smelling of sizing. While that odor faded in a few minutes, I always recommend washing the dress once to remove the sizing before wearing. (Some people are sensitive to those chemicals.)Overall, however, this is one of the best values for the money that I have seen in a while. I'm actually on here to buy another one in a different color/ pattern. I'll add a photo after church.I bought this dress in the Dark Green, it is a GORGEOUS color! The material is lovely...soft, stretchy and opaque.PROBLEM is the sizing....I sized up 1 size larger than I normally wear just to be safe and mercy it looked like I had bought 2 sizes too small, so I had to send it back. I'm so disappointed cause it was for my daughter's wedding and now I hafta start all over again.This dress is the perfect length, stretch and color but the material is kinda weird. I thought it would be similar to cotton but it's a more shiny material.It served its purpose for a funeral. It was good in a pinch and kept me cool as possible during a summer, outdoor burial.Liked the dress it went down to my feet loved that.The only problem I had with it was at the top where the material crossed over, the bottom layer seam is noticeable through the top. Besides that I loved it.I bought this dress for a funeral, sadly, but it was the perfect dress. It fit so well and was so comfortable. The top wasn’t revealing at all which is what you want for that kind of situation. I plan to buy several more in different colors.The dress fit perfect! I sing In a Gospel Quartet and wore it to sing and had so many comments! I wear an 18/20 and it fit true to size for 18/20. I got the black with pink flowers and i absolutely loved this dress!Love this dress it fit perfect except I’m 5’5 and it is a little too long but I carried it at the hip and it was ok for the evening I got several compliments on it ! Will definitely be purchasing more colors soon !I like the Dress, the Look and Feel; unfortunately there was NO BELT!!! I was looking foreword to belting this dress!So I had to improvise and use one of my wide elastic belts and it proved to be a Great idea!!!Nice fit and Flare.
