I wish there was a 38L! I'm 5'6," 138 lbs, 32DDD and wore the 38R to my law prom. It was perfect length when I was barefoot, but I could not wear taller than 2" heels or it looked scary. The 38R fit like a glove though, so I wasn't about to size up (prob should've ordered a 38L). I was also able to wear a strapless bra underneath (halleujah!). If I didn't wear a bra, this dress would not have been as attractive and I would have been very worried about the non-sleeved side falling open Bc it's piping was not connected to the piping on the stomach. So I don't think it would work well for smaller-chested women. When I put this drsss on my bf said, "oh my God you look so beautiful...this is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen you in." (I was deciding between this dress and a teeny tiny Herve.) It legitimately took his breath away. At law prom many ppl told me I looked like I was an actress at the Oscars. The dress is a wonderful chiffon material (I am very specific about fabric), but is the kind that WILL show a dark circle under your arm if you sweat. Also I leaned against the sink in the ladies room and got water on the front (evidenced in this pic), but still had a fabulous time. Overall great dress, don't worry about "looking like a bridesmaid"; this dress is baller.
