I ended up wearing an entirely different dress, but since I had paid for these size 12 & 14 extra dresses too, I let my friend wear this one. She is normally a size 12-14, is about 5' 3", is 38B and 165lb. The 14R fit her perfectly. The back cut out and the bow made this simple dress so much more "fun". No bra was needed for this dress either which is a WIN.

I normally wear a size 14, but the 16R fit perfectly. The back panels weren't as thick as the front of the dress, so I paired it with a fitted blazer to hide backfat. The dress was cut so nicely and looked more slimming in person than in the photos.

I normally fit a large, but ordered Large and XL in this dress. The XL fit the best. People were complimenting it all night! The cut around the arms had a bit too much give; I'm full chested and not used to that being an issue, but nevertheless, I think I was the only one that could tell. The quality of the dress was superb too! I was comfortable all night long and never felt like it was snug in the belly and it seemed to hug all the right areas.

This dress runs small and the largest size offered is a 12 which fit like an 8. I have an hour glass figure and am pretty equally proportionate and while the top part would have fit snugly, the hip area was way too tight. I ended up wearing another dress. If this dress was offered in a size 14 or 16, I have no doubt it would have been amazing.
