Alex Evenings Women's Plus Size Tea Length Dress with Rosette Detail - Elegant Formal & Cocktail Party Attire for Weddings, Dinners & Special Occasions

I'm 5'5" 220 lbs. For reference my measurements w tape measure are.Bra size 42"Breast 50"measurement with bra on,Waist 40" measurement,Hips 54" measurement.The dress style is perfect for a plus size full figure woman. It's very figure flattering. The color is a gorgeous true navy blue that is prettier in person. The flower rosettes really stand out but not overpowering. They add just the right amount of sparkle with a few sequins around the ribbon rosettes. Very pretty and well made. Looks like hand sewn. The fabric is just the right thickness and very soft. It feels very comfortable.This dress is very beautiful but the size 24W is way to big on me. I am a 68 year old mother and grandmother. I went by the size chart on both Alex Evenings and Amazon sites. I went with their suggestions of a 24W. I'm sure I can size down a size smaller or two.This Tea Length Dress with Rosettes is gorgeous, and very well made. Just the right amount of sparkle. It's a very classy dress. I'll be reordering this dress in a 22W for an upcoming event. I believe this size will fit perfectly. The length is not bad at all. Tea length or a little longer is fine with me, since I'm only 5'5". It comes just above my ankles.Easy to care for is always a plus!Hand wash cold separatelyRemove promptly after washingLay flat to dryDo not bleach.Do not steam.Do not dry clean.
