I grabbed the cardigan in an XL but needed a XXL for sure The dress is a XXL I have seen these on everyone. It has holes cut out on the sides and no I am not a big fan of that. That's why I have those covered. The dress is a little scratchy I won't lie to yall. So if you like it great... but I wouldn't plan to wear it all night unless you have a slip on under it livinglargeinlilly LTKSeasonal LTKHoliday LTKplussize
