Many of the reviewers of this dress sound like they're are wearing smaller sizes. Any word from bigger, curvier women? I'm 5'10 and 185 lbs, and would probably order the XL. Sometimes a dress like this can drape in a way that makes a woman my size look, well, lumpy. I'd love to hear from a larger woman who owns this dress.

Molly--I also just found this review from the Patagonia site...it might help even more than mine did. "I wanted to include a review from someone of a "curvier" figure as many of the reviews I had read before were from women in the 140 pound range and I waver around 180 and am 5'8". Previous reviews raved about this dress but I was skeptical at first as this dress has a spandex-like fabric and I worried it would highlight my flawed, curvier areas. Boy was I wrong! The L size was a bit tight in the hips area so I tried on the XL and it fit like a glove!!! It's very flattering for someone with a more curvier, full figure - I am a huge Patagonia fan and have multiple clothing items generally in the L size. No need to wear a bra with this dress either. It hit just below my knees and didn't scoop to low in the neckline either. It's totally comfortable, wrinkle-free, and versatile for any occasion! I plan on wearing this to many fancier occasions and pack it along in my future travel abroad plans. Would highly recommend this dress for curvier women like myself who've got the wider thighs and hips."

Molly--Not sure if this helps, but I'm about 5'7", 150-155 lbs, and definitely curvy (34 D on a good day). The material on this dress is substantial, and I was really please at how it hung on my body. I, too, worry about how these types of clothes drape on a body type that is not "boyish" as most of the Patagonia models appear that way to me. I tried on this dress in the store and was very pleased with how flattering the fit and drape were. And in comparison to other dresses with v-neck cuts, this one was the most modest in terms of cleavage. So it was form-fitting without showing every little bump or curve and not as low cut as other Patagonia dresses (Margot in particular). I'm holding out for the right color and price, but I do plan on purchasing this dress in the future. Hope this helps.
