Monsoon Silk Dress, size 12, bought a few years ago and worn (I think) 3 times - I was a size 12 to 14 when I bought it, so if you are a size 14 it may be worth checking out the measurements shown below. Sadly, it now doesn't fit me.
It has a lovely pattern of tropical flowers in orange, olive and taupe on a bronzey (non-metallic) background - see fabric close-up photo. It is sleeveless with a "v" neckline of plain bronze silk and underbust seaming so it fits nicely on the bust, it is cut on the bias so skims over the hips - looks good on curvy girls! It is about calf length (depending on your height!) The hem is trimmed with a plain bronze silk edge which gives it a bit of a "flip". It is fully lined with olive polyester crepe.
Measurements taken when dress is laid out flat, are:
135cm long (nape to hem)
92cm armpit to armpit, so I think about a 36" bust
V neck is 22cm deep (not too plunge)
Narrowest point of torso of dress: 85cm, about a 33" waist
Widest point of torso of dress: 95cm, about a 37" hip
Sleeve hole circumferance 20" approx
