I Tried It
Heres how it really fits a size 18/20.
I first met Sergio Hudson back in 2019.
I was at a fashion industry event that introduced me to his impeccable tailoring up-close and personal.
Whileooh-ing andaah-ing over the stunning rhinestone suit he designed for Beyonce, I got to chat with Hudson himself.
Hudsons loving attention to fit and careful construction stood out in the best way.
Thankfully, the collection didnt disappoint.
The line is packed with lush colors and dramatic shapes.
Ahead, I tested out four head-to-toe looks from trousers to dresses to outerwear.
So Im breaking down my impressions of the collection, item by item.

But one piece that stood out wasthecoat.
I was skeptical about how good the quality of a full-length, wool-look coat for $70 could be.
But the moment I put it on, all my concerns were assuaged.
This recycled poly blend feels incredible on, and looks just like some of my most expensive wool coats.
I cant yet speak on the longevity, but Im optimistic based on the lovely weight of the material.
Paired with thecoordinating sweater dressand thematching elbow-length gloves, this a winter-ready look.
The thoughtful size grading for plus-sizes in the collab is apparent, as the proportions worked beautifully for me.
The sweater dress fit perfectly in a 1X, with a good amount of stretch.
The faux leather gloves were also a lovely surprise.
I could even comfortably wear them over the sleeves of the sweater dress.
Recent collections have featured satin, animal prints, and black and white palettes.
Thisdolman sleeve mini dressticked off all three boxes.
The stretch suiting material skirt feels office-appropriate, but the low-low neckline gives it a night out vibe.
The deep-V had me reaching for my deepest plunge bra and it still peeked through.
So if you want to lean into the tailored workwear look, youll definitely need to layer.
I went in the other direction, styling the dress with platform thigh-high boots.
As to the fit, I felt great in the 1X.
The super high-waisted skirt was clearly constructed with curves in mind, fitting both my waist and hips nicely.
If you envision wearing this to work, consider sizing up for a slightly less fitted silhouette.
However, Im happy to say I was pleasantly surprised.
If you have a fuller chest, definitely size up in this one.
The Final Verdict
In addition to these pieces, I also tried theBustier Mini Dress.
), and thats okay.
