I ordered this dress and an almost exact copy in another color from another designer both in 14L. This dress looked stunning from what I could tell but I was not able to zip it up all the way. It fit in my hips/waist but there was no way my chest was ever going to fit in this dress. I'm not even sure if they would've fit in a 16L. It has a built in bra which I thought was great but if you have a large chest (I am 38DDD) I would say to go 2 sizes up. I normally wear a size 12 shorts, pants, skirts, dresses and when sized s m and L I also normally wear a medium.

While I love this dress and it was picked my 6 out of 7 friends that I sent it to I did not end up wearing the dress beacuae of the low cut and it being a work event of it husband's. I would rent this for a New year's Eve party or a black tie wedding though! I did not give it 5 stars because it was not very long and the sequins at the cut at the leg kept catching on each other so that too much of the inside plain blue of the gown was showing.

This dress was a back up back up that was added to my order the day before it shipped when one of my sizes wasn't available. It ended up being perfect and looked great on my skin tone. I got sooo many compliments! The dress was very tight in the chest area because I am a 38DDD but I ended up NOT having to wear a bra because it was so tight and the girls stayed up all night. Before this never in a million years would I think to not wear a bra. Also because it was a 14L and I'm a 12L (well everywhere but my chest, lol) I was able to sit and dance in it comfortably. I will definitely rent a Marchessa Notte dress for my next event.
