i BOUGHT THIS 3 PIECE OUTFIT FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING AND I WORE IT FOR 4 HOURS. IT IS SIZE 22. THE PANTS WERE NOT AS COMFORTABLE AS I WANTED SO I HAD A PROFESSIONAL SEAMSTRESS ADD TO EACH SIDE TO MAKE IT FIT BETTER. IF YOU DON'T WANT THE EXTRA WIDTH IT CAN BE REMOVED. I BOUGHT THE BEAUTIFUL BEAD, LACE AND SEQUIN APPLIQUE AND HAD THE SEAMSTRESS ADD IT TO THE FRONT OF THE JACKET. THE APPLIQUE ITSELF COST ME OVER $200. THE JACKET CAN BE WORN OVER ANY OUTFIT YOU HAVE. IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE SINCE LOST 35 POUNDS SO THIS OUTFIT IS TOO BIG FOR ME NOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME. THIS CONSISTS OF 3 PIECES. THE SHELL IS SLEEVELESS AND HAS A SEPARATE LINING IN IT.
