Not for the busty girls
I rented this in a 16 in hopes that I could get the girls in but unfortunately it was still too small. A 36 band is the largest size that may work.

Way too small in the chest, but long in the torso.
This was a replacement dress when my other order was canceled. It was an odd fit, long torso which would have been good for my height but even the XL was too small in the chest.

Beautifl fabric, busty gals beware.
The top of the dress was about 36C max, so I didn't come close to zipping it. My friend, who wears a 10/12, was able to fit into the 16. The dress runs long; it's good for my height but would need a heel for shorter women.

This looks great with a high-waisted pant or skirt. It does run short, so beware if you have a long torso.

More dark blue than green
I ordered this to wear to an event that required green, but this dress is more teal. Also it runs very small and was too tight in the arms to wear. I previously wore the red version of this dress and it fit fine.

Stylish dress, but more casual than formal.
I ordered this dress for a formal gala, but the fabric is a thin nylon, and the dress is unlined. This is cute, and I will wear it to the conference, but far too casual for a gala.

Pretty fabric, but....
It is small in the chest, I could even pull it off with a cami. Also the ruffles hit my waist right across my bottom so it looked funny. I saw a beautiful picture of someone in it, but curvy girls should skip it.

I previously tried the 14R, but found it too small across my back. Sadly, the 16R has the same dimensions and was also too small.

Nice color, tight fit
I loved the color, but this one was too small across the back for me to wear. The low neckline requires a larger bust, but small back.

Beautiful fabric, challenging fit
I rented this for a gala, I usually wear a size 14, but sized up based on the reviews. The low neckline and cups require a fuller bust so I thought my 36DDDs would work. Unfortunately, the size 16 was too small across the mid back to zip up all the way. So I think a 34 DD/DDD would be the largest size who could wear this. Also anything smaller would have a gapping chest.

Cute and potentially comfortable
I rented this for a Vegas vacation and it is a cute and comfortable jumpsuit. However, it runs short in the torso, so I was not able to wear it. If you are 5'6" or shorter give it a try.

Extremely small for size
I usually wear a 12 in Black Halo, but sized up as others indicated it ran small. The size 14 didn't even come close to zipping. If you are heavier I would skip this one.

Fancier than it looks
This dress is well constructed with a thick lining perfect for cold weather. It runs small at the waist so I couldn't zip it up. I recommend sizing up if you have weight in your midsection.

Make a statement for a black tie event
From the pictures, this dress looks pretty simple, but the sleeves are really puffy and it makes a statement. I certainly turned heads. The negatives of the dress are the fit. The neckline is really low and there isn't much structure to keep it in place so I had to pin it. I am busty and I filled in, but I also found the arms to be tight at the cuff which is odd. I do not have large arms for my size and they are 3/4 sleeves so if you have larger arms this will fail us. The skirt is stretchy and more forgiving. It is tight at the waist so if you carry weight up top this may be an issue. I would say size up, but the top may be too loose. I usually wear a 12, the 14 was tight. Overall, I made it work and looked better than I felt.

Solid wear to work dress

Glamourous
This is a beautiful dress and I looked forward to wearing it to my gala. Unfortunately, the size 14 was not available and the size 12 was two small in the waist for me to wear it with my 38DD bust. I then rented a 14 for a wedding and I was able to wear it. The dress runs long so short ladies beware. If you are 5'7" or taller and a 36DD or smaller go for it.

Cute pattern but...
Rented this for work, though it would look cute on my Zoom calls. The top runs small: tight sleeves, small through chest and it was short in length. I would size up if you try it, skip it if you are tall, busty or muscular in the arms.

Looks promising but...
This item is cut really small, I needed about 2 more inches in the waist to consider zipping it. Size up if you can, but I would pass on this one if you are a true size 12/14 as there is no size 16. The pants are also short, so I do not recommend this for taller ladies.

This is such a fun dress, great length and that fabric is so stretchy and flattering. The purple color pop was a fun twist.

Very stylish dress for work or afterwards
This dress is very pretty with the the sheer detailing on the chest and arms. Unfortunately, I could not wear this dress. While my arms are not very large, the sleeves were too tight so I couldn't even pull it on. If you have large or muscular arms, skip this one.
