I love this dress. It's even prettier in person. The details are beautiful. After I received the one in Turquoise Blue, I decided to buy it in Red as well. In the back of the dress, there's a ruching detail that makes it stretchy so it can form to many body types and sizes. To loosen or make it tighter, you just adjust the tie in the back. As far as sizing goes, I'm a size 14 and the L/XL was a good and comfortable fit for me. It has a bit of room and could probably fit a 16 as well. I'm always worried about my stomach, but I feel like this dress hides it pretty well and makes me not feel subconscious about it. I am short though, 5'2", and this dress is a bit long on me. It falls to mid-calve. But it's not a big deal to me because the bottom part of the dress is a little see through, which is another pretty detail. Like I said, I love this dress. I will definitely be buying more of this brand because it is a quality product.
