I am so glad I took the plunge and bought the Mint Plus Strap Maxi Dress. I'd been watching it for a while and didn't think I had anywhere to wear it. I take care of my mother full time. But I spend most of my free time sitting on our porch and I don't like looking like a vagabond, so I bought this dress for porch sitting. The fabric is super soft, I would LOVE some pajamas made from this material. I have enormous hips, 60 inches, but the 3X fit me just fine. It skims my hips and behind and fits well. I purchased a matching bra online and have worn it with and without a bra and to me it still looks fine and I'm not embarrassed if UPS or FedEx or another visitor stops by while I'm relaxing outside. The straps are easy to adjust and I pulled them all the way up because I am 5'3". But the dress is not so long that it is a tripping hazard or otherwise interferes with my walking. It's perfect! I want another one! And shipping was fast for me, but I live in Alabama, just a state over. Thank you!
