ESPRLIA Women's Plus Size High Waist Lace Overlay Maxi Evening Dresses

I bought this dress for the Ohio Governor Inaugural Gala. I didn't have a lot of time to look for a dress and I am plus size so options are limited. I typically wear an 18/20 in A line/ empire dresses but ordered a 20w and 22w because of the reviews. Don’t do that. They were both too large because I failed to read the designers instructions. I did not have time to exchange for the 18w in time for the gala, which is what I should have bought to begin with. I made the 20w work. But I DO RECOMMEND GETTING THE SIZE YOU WEAR IN TOPS. I am so glad I bought this dress. It really is beautiful. I would recommend getting whatever size you wear in tops.The empire waist allows for concealment of the lower half. Unless you have a very large midsection. If that is the case get this! High-waist thigh slimmer shorts- works great and also helps with that infamous chub rub. I wore it and I felt comfortable and confident all night. With this empire waist type dress, you can get away with wearing your normal size or smaller. No need to size up https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KFD9C9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1.As you can see in the photos, it looks beautiful. No one would know that you spend less than $40 on it!I am 5'9. (in photos wearing flats) I typically wear a 18/20 top (40DDD bra) and a 22 pants. This dress is the 20w and it is a little too big. My girls were all out of control. Husband loved it, but it made me very self-conscious. I used (fashion tape) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR4BLWA/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 to help keep the top closed. Worked great. I also wore a lace trim cami https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B6O3VR2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1under it as well and it helped with the rather large gap since the dress was too large. You might not have as much trouble on the top if you get your actual size. I was not sure and rolled the dice and did not have time to exchange for the 18w.I bought a faux fur wrap to wear as well because I knew I would be cold and it also helped hide my girls. If you are looking for a faux fur wrap this fits plus size bodies well.

I totally recommend it.Bottom line: Beautiful and elegant dress. With this empire waist type dress, you can get away with wearing your normal size. If you are not sure what size, I would recommend getting the size you wear in tops. Unless you are very heavy on the bottom half.

I ordered a 24 which is bigger than my dress size but I have an H-cup bra size and wanted to make sure it would fit up top. It does beautifully and being a more flowy type of cut I am not bothered by the little extra room of the rest of the dress. The lace I was worried about initially when ordering. But it is a stretchy material giving way for a comfortable not restricted fit across the chest. I would advise ordering a size up if you have a large chest. My bust measurements were between a 24 and a 36 but my dress size normally is a 20-22. the size 24 was perfect in the chest area though so being the style of dress order to your bust size if you are bigger up there. It came carefully packaged in a nice sealed ziplock style bag and arrived quicker than estimated. I will definitely order from this brand again. Very beautful.

I bought this for a wedding. The dress is nice and fit better than expected but I wound up not using the dress because I didn’t like the waist. The dress kind of “hangs” around the waist area and I could not find a belt/ribbon that would go with the dress. For the money though this dress is pretty. The lace on the arms is a little stretchy so it fit pretty good in the arms. The length is as it is shown in the pictures and if I needed a dress like this for another formal occasion I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.

Fantastic material. It is soft, form fitting without making you look lumpy, flowing skirt and looks much more expensive than it costs. This is a no-brainer. I bought the navy dress to wear to a wedding. Pair this with glittered strappy sandals and you'll look great. The fit is really great. Do not size up. Buy your true size and the fit is great, not tight.The dress arrives folded in a small plastic bag. When I unpacked the dress, it had no wrinkles! You can pack this in a suitcase without the need to steam at your destination. Absolutely perfect for formal cruise nights, weddings, and special occasions. At this price, buy 2 because it is a steal.

Nice quality and well made dress. Run a little on the large side.

Based on reviews I opted for true to size purchase of the navy maxi dress. I could have gone down one size but was still very happy. I am afraid of lace because it usually runs smaller than I need and there's usually no stretch but that is not the case here. The entire dress is stretchy and I couldn't get over how stretchy the arms were, so large arms welcome. Figure flattering/hour glass design. 5'5'" hit me above the ankle. I still can't get over the quality and fit for this price. I'd recommend for sure.

Did not fit well at all and was made cheap. Bought it to wear to a winter wedding but it looked like it should be worn to a winter nightgown party. Do not buy!

I've bought dresses from this company before and I love the stuff they make for plus sized women. This dress came in a sealed ziplock bag. It's ankle length and a lovely emerald green color. The dress is a size 14w which fits me as I'm a regular size 14 with the following measurements bust 42 waist 38. The fabric is light and easy to clean, really great for the low price. I will wear it on saint patricks day.
