100% worth the $200. Buy your normal size, the size chart is misleading due to roomy cut and fit. Just buy it. The size chart implies that this item fits tighter than standard size charts (XL chest measurement was 36" on size chart!) but the XL is actually unstretched 20" wide or 40" circumference at the chest, the material is quite stretchy, and I think I could have certainly gone with my normal size of L were I not frightened by the size chart. My measurements are 39, 31, 41 and I would generally purchase a size 12. XL still looks fine on me as the dress is only fitted-ish at the top and fans out nicely all around. I think an XL would stretch without a visible distortion to fit up to 46-48" circumference or larger chest easily. At pocket level (waist to hip area) it is about 30" wide. The straps are adjustable and it has useable roomy pockets. It's gorgeous and a good quality printing that elicits comments. And while the fabric is 82% polyester and 18% elastane it feels and looks well-made and like it will last. I wore it out on an 80 degree day and because of how voluminous it is the polyester did not make me hot.
