I bought this outfit for my grandfather's celebration of life (or tomb building, as we call it in Jamaica). It's bright, beautiful and will ensure that I stand out. The fit is true to size and comfortable. It's a family event, so I don't mind that fact that it is slightly loose. I chose 1X because I was afraid that the XL wouldn't fit my 36DDs, but I could've gone for the XL. I'd suggest that you buy your actual size. I can't wait to wear it!
