This dress was beautiful, and I got a TON of compliments at a black-tie work gala. The material had just the right amount of weight, and was insanely flattering. My chest fit perfectly (40D) in the size 16L, and I just wore my normal bra. Not really any cleavage to speak of for me, but if you're bustier then you might see some. The long length was a little on the long side - I'm 5'7" and had to wear platform heels for the dress to skim the floor. Next time I would have gone with the normal length. The zipper is a little difficult to zip by yourself, so make sure to get someone else to help you. The dress wore beautifully throughout the night and was insanely flattering over the tummy area (I carry a fair amount of weight in my stomach, and it looked good when I tried it on without spanx, but it looked even better with them on). I would say the sizing for this dress runs a tiny, tiny bit on the larger side - I got a 16L in another gown by the same designer and it was way too tight, and I know the 18 would have been too big. Overall, this was a stunning dress to wear to my first black-tie event!
