Nice dress, good price, but read the details!

I have a similar rayon dress that was a gift from Hawaii, which is extremely comfortable, so I wanted another one. I'm happy with the product I received, especially at this price, but it really is not like the one I have. Since Ebay customer reviews help me on EVERY purchase I make, I thought I would share mine for this dress. 1) The fabric - this may be rayon as stated, but it's KNIT rayon, like T-shirt material. I wanted WOVEN rayon, which is more like a bed sheet, only super soft. This makes a difference, as knits don't look as nice on plus size thighs and tummy. The description may have stated it was knit rayon, but I didn't see it. 2) Sizing - I wasn't sure of my size from this company, so I read reviews and used the size calculator tool at the product description. It said I was between XL and XXL, with 65% match for XL and only 35% match for XXL. It also said to order XL for a more fitted look, or XXL for a loose look, which made sense. I ordered the XL, and I thought it was lovely - it felt good. But then I noticed the back of the dress showed small bulges where I have them, like it was too tight. The fabric that stretched across my bust showed white background as it stretched, like when the knit is stretched thin. It was not too tight but it looked like it was. So I returned it for an XXL, which fits nicely, and is NOT loose and bulky. The skirt fits almost the same as the XL. The length is to my ankle (I'm 5'10"), so very long, and the sleeves are very long, almosr half way across my palm! I may hem them. 3) Washing - this cannot be dried in the dryer. Lots of my clothes are rayon, and some are dryer friendly and some are not. I'm not sure why. But I prefer to use my dryer when possible and I feel hanging a long KNIT dress stretches it out. Hanging a woven dress does not. Some customers wrote that they used the dryer and the dress shrunk, others that nothing happened. One wrote that it ruined her dress. I did put it in the dryer on low for 10 mjn, but just to get any wrinkles crom the washjng machine out. Then I hung it. It's just fine but I wish I could just use the dryer. I still would buy it again, and maybe will buy another one in a different color!
