The Perfect Dress for XL Ladies I’m an XL and the Ella in Jude Cloth is the most comfortable and flattering dress I own. The new Spring collection with its Peony Dream Pink brings happy Spring colors to my world. As an XL woman I lean towards black or navy to give me a slender look. With the cut and style of Ella I can now wear brighter Spring colors and still achieve a slender look. I love this dress in that its generous around the waist, it has a decent length (an inch longer would be perfect), it's easy to slide on and it’s washable. It’s good for every day use and special occasions. Bravo to the designers.
