I wanted a true rich chocolate brown dress that had some tapering as you go to the ankle, and this dress was it!!! Do I wish it were a bit cheaper? Yes. I do wardrobe and style consulting, I know fabrics and production and this dress truly shouldn't cost this much given the materials. It's a lovely jersey knit that hangs well and feels yummy but it still isn't an expensive production/fabric. Overall, I am satisfied. Haven't fully checked it for defects yet. Will update review l if I see any. It fit well, flattering without being tight. It's elasticity is on the looser density side (not neoprene-like or heavy) and should fit like that unless you get it a size too small - then it'll make it tighter and less flattering because the fabric is too thin and the elasticity isn't dense enough to present a polished profile if fitted really tight to the body. I have the chocolate brown and couldn't see through it BUT it's not THAT thin, plus I've only seen it under artificial light and I have mid/chocolate/similar brown skin tone AND I tried it on with a trench coat and a long oversized denim shirt. We'll see if it's see through in the sunlight later but for the aforementioned reasons, I don't think it'll be a problem. I have the 2x and I usually wear about an 18/20. I think a 22, 24 could fit this as well (though if the bust size is G, H+ and the dress size is 24+, the top part may stretch in a way that makes it thinner/see through in the bust, in which case a brown or black bra could help as well).
