Eleyne Barlow The bust measurement for this would fit a 42 inch chest perfectly. Other items I've purchased which have also been an XL equated to a 38-40 inch bust so it's a bit trial and error with individual items. I'm 5ft 6 and this is pretty long but doesn't drag on the floor. The material is very nice and not too heavy although be prepared for it to fray like mad if, like me, you need to add pockets to your over dresses. Also, the cut-out sleeves tend to look a little balloony - very fulsome but not cartoonish. The toggles are a nice touch and, as always with these garments, the gown is beautifully made.
