This is so cute! I wear a 12/14 in womens and ordered the 16/18 for a perfect fit! I do think the 12/14 wouldve fit and been a little snug, just depends on the fit you're comfortable with. 56 and 185lbs, 36D. Its a little long but has a raw edge on the sheer dress so I may shorten it a bit so it doesnt hit my knees when wet. Bust can be cinched tighter with drawstrings. Molded cups. No underwire. These are not boyshorts tho. It is one piece under dress. Torso isn't too short or long. This one is a winner!
