Does this dress run true to size?

Buyers generally report it fits true to plus-size sizing with a relaxed A-line through the hips. The stretch jersey gives some room, so those between sizes often size down.

Can I wear a regular bra with the cold-shoulder cut?

Straps will show through the shoulder openings. A strapless or convertible bra works best, and some buyers wear a wide-strap bra and treat the openings as part of the look.

How long is it in petite and average?

Average length is 55 inches and petite is 53 inches, measured from the shoulder. On most wearers that lands near the ankle or floor.

Does it wrinkle in a suitcase?

The Ultrasmooth jersey is wrinkle-resistant and buyers report it packs well. Hang it briefly after unpacking and any creases fall out.

Is it formal enough for a wedding or evening event?

It reads as dressy-casual. With heels and jewelry it works for a warm-weather evening or resort dinner, but the unlined jersey lacks the structure of a formal gown.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold and line or tumble dry low. Skip high heat, which can dull the stretch jersey.
