I usually wear a size 8 in dresses & jeans; however, I'm a 36 D-so this didn't work. I'd say if you are more than 36" in the bust, a large will be very tight on top. I did like the tie at the waist, the colors, and the light weight of the material with a little stretch.
  Since I was on my honeymoon (in Hawaii!!) I didn't make the cutoff for returning it, so I guess it's going to Goodwill.
