Usually I don't wear plus sizes, but lately I've found that I get an overall better "fit" if I go to a 14W vs a regular 14. I was in a pinch for a gala I have next Friday night, as I seem to have outgrown the ones in my closet. It was a RISK to buy online. Quality, fit, etc. were all a concern. This arrived in two days - here's what I found:- Quality is good; it is "heavy" so would not be good for the height of summer or anytime outside unless it was COLD.- Since there is no zipper (it's a pullover), it has to be able to fit over breasts/shoulders. Anyone who is super big up there may have a challenge. I'm not ridiculously big, but it was snug. Once past there, it fell perfectly.- I have a small rib cage (relative to the rest of my body) - pear shaped. So it did what I need it to do. It cinches in right under the bra line and falls away from there. Hides the big thighs in a wonderful way! I ordered black on black, so it's a bit of good camouflage everywhere.- No zippers and nothing that pinches anywhere. This seems like it will be super comfy to wear. The sleeves are snug...not uncomfortably, but if my upper arms were any bigger, I think it might be uncomfortable. As is, perfect. And the lace on arms and at neckline is NOT itchy!- I wear a size 14/14W, am 5'6" and bought a size 0. I'm glad I did. A size 1 would have been too big. But it JUST fits. HOWEVER, it is LONG! I put on some heels and I can probably get away without hemming it; but I may try to get the tailor to take it up a few inches if there is time. Don't want to trip. If you are someone who wears stilettos or likes the drama of a floor dusting dress, this would work. But if you want to wear normal height shoes and not drag, order it with enough time to have someone take it up.I do not like buying evening clothes for myself (mostly find me in jeans or sweatpants). It's the whole size/fit/how do I look thing. Uggh. Usually, it's out to Macy's evening wear and I buy whatever I find but seldom leave "in love" with what I've purchased. This purchase was a terrific surprise. Fit and looks good. I think it will be a hit.
