RUNS VERY SMALL. I bought my size according to the size chart. It should fit no problem. It is inches from even closing. I’m not sure an XL would even fit. But according to the website’s policies it cannot be exchanged or returned because it is not damaged. In fact, quality seems good. The fabric and stitching is nice and sturdy. It’s a shame, because it’s a beautiful dress that I was really looking forward to wearing. :/
