I'll start with the cons because there aren't many: I ordered a 12r and 14r, I loved the length if the 12r but I couldn't get the back to close comfortably, so I went with the 14. I would've preferred a long I'm both, but they weren't available, although, I suspect the 12 actually was a long. I am very shapely, with large breasts and a large hip/bottom area. The dress fit my curves perfectly. It was perfect for a black tie affair! I'm so glad a designer like Marchesa looks out for us thick girls! I will say this though, I have very small arms, so this dress wasn't a problem at all. My arms are the same size as they were when I was a size 8, so this might not work for someone who has larger arms.
