I am 5'6" and have a large bust and am thick-waisted, 40-35-40. The size 12 was way too big in the shoulders/sleeves (they were so long that they came halfway over my hands!) and the size 10 was still almost too long in the sleeve. The 10 fit better (that's the size I have on in the photo), but the fabric was thin enough that my lumpy imperfections were too visible under the fabric (I would've had to wear shapewear underneath). That along with the boxy no-waisted look made me choose not to wear this dress. (I do better with ruching or a belt or something that creates more of a fitted waist appearance - this just made me look thick.)
