After reading the great reviews, I just had to order this dress and am not disappointed. I am a size 10/12 and ordered a L/XL chocolate brown, a rich color, and looks feminine and fits beautifully. It has adjustable straps and a tie on the back of the bodice (so would think it would fit up to 14/16). It is really comfortable, form fitting but not tight, and I don't need a bra or slip. Will be great for our cruise in April. Like others have mentioned, it does have an odor and the color will probably bleed, so I will wash inside out on very delicate cycle before wearing. It does say to hand wash, but since there is so much material, it would be cumbersome in the sink. I'll add to comment after washing. Definitely recommend!
