Chic coat, runs large
Well made light coat, but definitely oversized. I would size down one size.

Flare incredibly unflattering
Flare was awful. With a bigger chest the dress looks incredibly matronly.

Cute mod dress.
Not remotely body con. Cute dress. The sleeves are VERY dramatic. The dress also fell off the bust without showing any of my figure underneath which made the dress less flattering than I had hoped.

Cute blazer
Really cute blazer. A little cropped so perfect for a high waisted skirt/pants or a dress. Only negative is that the cuffs had lost their structure as the result of a lot of wear (the entire blazer looked like he had been worn numerous times).

Odd placement of arm holes
Cute cape, but the details really detract overall. The material is itchy even with long sleeves underneath. The biggest problem was the bizarre placement of the arm holes. They were low and in front, almost at the inside of the hip bones so holding a purse and other general movement was impeded. Not practical.

No stretch in the fabric so the fit was off. A bit wide on the hips and tight on the bust.
No stretch in the fabric resulted in a fit that was a bit wide and unflattering on the hips and tight on the bust.

Great look for a work event.
I wore this dress for a work event (conservative). The dress is a nice fitting sheath. I was very comfortable and felt that it was appropriate for a daytime work event, but gave me an "edge" of looking just a bit more put together than some of my peers. I am typically a 4 or a 6 - I probably could wear the 42, but it would be very fitted, which I wasn't looking for on this occasion. Very forgiving if you have a big chest.

Beautiful dress. Would be great for a beach wedding.
Girls with a larger bust should steer clear- The body of the dress fit true to size, but I couldn't zip the top because it was too small in the bust area (no stretch). I wish it fit because it's a comfortable dress that is the perfect balance between casual and quasi formal.

Didn't wear bc of fit.
This dress doesn't really have any stretch so isn't recommended for anyone with a bigger bust relative to their typical dress size- as a 32DD I wasn't able to wear this (typically a 4 or 6) as it basically compressed my chest, which was really unflattering. Beautiful dress though- the color is even more vibrant than how it shows online- wish it fit.

Simple & chic- perfect for black tie optional event (versatile to suit a range of formal functions)
This dress is a column style dress. I am typically a 4 or 6 in dresses (generally lean toward 6 to accomodate bust), but went with the 4 in this as the body was slightly bigger than expected with room on the top. I am 5'9 and wore the dress with 4 inch heels- if it were an inch or two longer, it would have been perfect, but wasn't noticably short. The dress wasn't clingy, but had a nice shape so that people can discern the shape of your body. I wore this to a black tie optional event (work related) and felt like it was a great option. The people at the even were generally in their 40's and being a bit younger, I felt like this dress was the perfect choice. The dress is definitely sophisticated, and the sleeves make it a bit more conservative, but was far from dowdy (I received numerous compliments on the dress). I would definitely recomend this dress. For girls with larger busts, the dress requires a strapless bra with a low back, which wasn't an issue for this event as it was more of a dinner/auction, but would have likely been uncomfortable if I were at a more lively event with dancing, etc (even with the low back strapless, the back of the bra was just on the bottom edge of the sheer panel on the back of the dress). Note that the color is more of a blush than what I would call an ivory as shown in the picture online.
