Customer Reviews M.M.LaFleur Plus Size Lydia Dress - Textured Ponte

This dress fits my frame perfectly, and the shoulder detail is the ideal amount of "extra" without overburdening the simple lines of the dress.

Fit like a glove the moment I put it on, just needed a hem. I could wear it on its own for a date with my husband or at a conference with a blazer. I like the twist detail on the shoulder and the bra strap holders, although the holders are just snaps attached to some string and I'm concerned they're a bit fragile. A thicker ribbon would be nicer. Taking one star away because I wish it were machine washable, although it's Dryel-friendly.

I have athletic arms and don't typically have an issue with sizing in MM LaFleur dresses. However, the design of this dress has a twist in the armholes, which is unique but allows less space than usual, making this one too tight in the arms for me. You might like this if you have thinner arms and normally find too much room in this area.
