I see what people man by costume material but it doesn't take away from the design it actually makes the white in the dress pop with the other colors. I am 5'9 and close to 290. 3X fits nice but I would have like a little more length to fully cover my ankles while standing. Pockets are a nice size. I paid for the xtra fast shipping since I wanted it for my upcoming vaca but if you can wait...wait. Not worth the extra shipping cost.I love this dress I have worn it out twice and have received at least seven compliments on it a man even stopped his car as I was walking into a restaurant and said wow lady that dress really looks good on youSuper soft and comfortable! It’s not tight, so it’s amazing! Also it has pockets!! The white one is a bit transparent on the black designs, but whatever I loved them!It’s perfect for me, likes to wear the bare minimum . It’s very cute and thin however it covers the necessities.I wear it for lounging around the house.I like this dress, it's so easy to slip on, lightweight for those hot summer days and comfortable. Material is not itchy on skin.The dress is beautiful but fits big I need to get it tailoredIt says plus size but it fits me fine and im a lean petite woman. The material is thin, ill have to wear something under it. If im being honest its like something i'd get from a costume store during halloween. It is cute though and it fits perfectly.For casuel wear
