I just have a gut feeling that an extra large is more like a small or medium in their clothes. Normally when ordering from QVC or HSN, IX clothes are way too big for me and L a bit too tight. So XL is perfect for me. Getting ready to put in a large order and now thinking otherwise.

Please save yourself and don't do it, sizing or not. They are not a real company. You will not get what you order and you may possibly not get anything at all.

Don't do it! If you are lucky enough to actually get your purchase I promise you will NOT be happy. They took me for $200 and I never got my money back. Not even quality enough to donate to goodwill! Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere. Linda

I agree with the other reviews, don't even waste your time or money... the clothes are cheaply made, fabric is tattered with strings hanging everywhere straight out of the poorly put together packaging and they look absolutely NOTHING like the product you're seeing online and think you're buying.

But to answer your question, I ordered a shirt in a "one size fits all" and it was WAY too big. The pants & skirt I ordered in a size small (5'6" - 113lbs) fit perfectly... too bad I couldn't wear them because they were damaged and made from crappy material.

They need to explain that on their site about the sizing. Also, their Han hair wigs are crap. Doesn't look anything like the picture and the color is wrong. I saw an ad on television yesterday that said that you shouldn't order from dresslily. Wish I had seen it sooner. I am not giving up on this. I want a refund! I hate for someone to

Large order? Don't do it! Out of 3 bathing suits that I ordered, I do actually sort of like one of them. Of course, I haven't worn it in the water yet so we'll have to see if it doesn't fall apart after one time in the water! To try to put things in perspective, they're sizing is weird. These are cheap Chinese knockoffs, keep that in mind. I am 5 foot 6 inches, 146 pounds. I ordered three large bathing suits because I heard the sizing was small. One of the suits they sent me a small by mistake and it's tiny and made like total crap. The second was a large is poorly made but not as bad as the first.
That one is actually a bit too big on me. The third one, a size large is a two-piece and fits me fine. I would not waste your money on this site. Go to a store and try them on so you know you're getting what you want. They do not look much like what they show in the pictures.

I would NOT order anything from Dress Lily. The clothes not only run like children's sizes, but appear to be made by children. Very poor quality. I ordered 2 tops which took over a month to arrive and the buttons were not lined up with the button holes, strings were everywhere, and hems were not properly finished. They went in the trash because it would have cost me more in shipping. Don't order from here.

Unfortunately, I would not order again because it took real long, months, to get them and never did get one.

As I always say when people question the site... do you gamble? When I order I do it like I would buying a Lottery Ticket and thus far I have been far more successful with this site than I ever have been with a Lottery Ticket. Check there measurement chart for each article, because the measurement vary from article to article. But I would say the XL is a small extra large... I have 1X that is wonderful, but it is big... and the XL is wearable, but I would have preferred it larger. I wouldn't buy anything where 'fit' is important, I like loose clothing and have a couple of things I love from there... I have had money refunded when I sent a picture of measurement that were no where near what the chart said they should be... and that specific article was 'horribly made', but the only thing that has been a total disaster. Usually it takes 3 -4 weeks before the parcel arrives, but that is to be expected with 'free shipping'. I have a purse that I thought was really cheap and tacky when I got it, but I have received more compliments on it, than any purse I have ever owned... and now I love it. It goes everywhere with me... as a very interesting accessory. I have scarves that were great also... and presently I am waiting for a dress which I will review after I receive it. So if you feel like a 'little gamble' go for it... but don't set your expectations too high... and don't order anything that needs to really fit the body, if you understand what I mean. Good Luck to you.

This company sucks. I ordered expedited shipment and still haven't received my order. The number they have for customer service stay with a busy signal. They also stated that my order was shipped out online. And they also had the longest ridiculous tracking number. When I called to track my package the postal office told me that number wasn't right it's to long. I tried reaching out to dresslilly on that live chat and it was a waste of time. They are never online complete scam I'm going to give them one more week just to see if my package will arrive if not. I will most definitely call my bank and get my money
Reimbursed. I'm not playing with this company it doesn't make since on how they play with people money. I wish I would have checked the reviews first before I ordered.( PLEASE DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY)and I noticed it's to many bad reviews.

Sorry for the delay. I'm on holidays. The reason I ordered the bathing suits... They are very small sizes. And not well made. You would have to go 2 to 3 sizes up and it your over 5'2' body length would be a problem... I personally would never order anything again
