I'm a size 14.  The dress is offered in my size, and the reviews say it runs larger so the 14 should definitely fit.  Do you think it will be unflattering? 

There is no problem exchanging or returning it since it is technically an evening dress.  In fact, the website says I can return it at any store.  I haven't found one in this price range that I like as much!  (I'm on a tight time schedule, but shipping is 5-8 days so I should be ok...)

Here it is in navy on a plus-size model

    [QUOTE]Uhoh LoveMuffins......  That's not good news!  I wondered because the top is SO fitted.  Oh well! I ordered sizes 16 and 14.  If nothing else I'll return both, but the excitement is kinda fun.  $2000 well spent, HAAA! It honestly can't look worse than my current dress.  Though, I could use my chest-to-dress gap for a card holder.  Then I won't have to use the ugly mailbox my grandma got me.  Woo!

    Yeah, i thought the top would be great, and i LOVED the skirt, but it was something about the horizontal stripes... and the sash. it looked better when i took the sash off but it still wasn't great. i hope it looks better on you than it did on me! it's SUCH a pretty dress, i was so disappointed!
