I am 5’6” and 190lbs. I got a size x-large and this dress fits perfectly! The material is very flowing and would probably be good for packing because it doesn’t wrinkle very much. In fact I hung it up right out of the package and the creases were gone the next day without ironing. I wore it to church today and got compliments. Color is true to advertised post. Though it light weight the material is nice and not see through.
