It's impossible to describe exactly how much I love this dress. Being a plus size, I don't usually order clothes online (too many figure issues to deal with). When I saw this dress, I just had to dare. I followed the manufacturer's size chart (the one in the photos) and ordered the 1XPlus. My measurements are 45" bust, 39" waist and I weigh 190 pounds. Imagine my delight when it arrived and I anxiously tried it on to make sure it fit perfectly. Wow! What a relief! Even the thin strap that came with it was long enough. The fabric of the dress is wonderful with a good weight and just enough spandex for a comfortable fit. The supplied ribbon is thin and flocked at the top. Fat people don't usually like skinny belts, but this one didn't look so bad. You can always buy a wider belt for it. I see some people complaining about the length of the strap as there are no belt loops to keep the extra length in place. The belt is made of rubber and it seems to me that it can be easily cut off. Or tie a tie around it to hold it down. You don't "need" a petticoat, but if you do add one, just slip it over. I bought a Vintage Tidetellยฎ 50s Rockabilly Women's Tutu 26" White L (FBA) Plus Size Tutu Skirt to wear with it. It fits perfectly in both waist size and length. Dress. I was so keen on it to take a picture and leave this review that I don't even mind (much) that I look awful because I'm not wearing pretty makeup in it Please note that I'm not wearing proper underwear in the photo. A belt and stockings will definitely help flatten your waist a little.The photos show both the white and black petticoat.These are also poor quality photos (poor camera and lighting) and don't capture the color and texture, who has this dress. In fact, I love it so much that I will be ordering two more (with a third in reserve for later).Edited 12/6/16: I received two other dresses (solid color black and white with blue flowers), so I added a video rating as well.
