Should know by now Yumi Kim isn't for women with chests
My measurements are 38/32/37 and this dress zipped up just fine until about my mid-back - then did didn't even come close to closing, which is ridiculous for an "XL" size. My beef with the sizing aside, it's beautiful constructed with gorgeous fabric and nice touches, like the buttons at the wrists. The details in the lace are actually pastel-rainbow-hued. It was lovely, and I considered binding my chest to make it fit, but nah.

A bit tight up top but good flow
I can normally rely on Badgley Mischka to fit my hourglass figure, but the top was a little tight on this dress while the waist and hips were a bit loose - would probably have suited a bottom-heavy figure better, but I enjoyed wearing it anyway. The scarf made for an interesting movement while I walked back and forth from the stage.

Quarantine Gown!
So I typically wear a 12 bottoms, and 14 tops. This definitely needed to have been a 14, but only the 12 was available. The waist/hips fit gorgeously, but the top was too tight - I couldn't zip it closed. Luckily, I got it just go fabulously lounge around in quarantine, and just left the back open, zipped to the waist only. And you know what? Looked fabulous!!!

Perfect Quarantine Gown!
This dress was ironically perfect for lounging around in COVID-19 isolation, as it's something between a sundress and a hospital gown. I felt like I was wearing chic, fashionable scrubs. Very comfy and fun. It's loose and boxy on top, but the ties at the hip are adjustable, so you can get a nice fit throughout the waist and hips to make up for it. The fabric easily shows water, as I found out when I went outside in the rain to feed the cat. Also, the sleeves' cuffs could use and ironing.

Not for the busty
I made the mistake of forgetting that I have a bust, and made the poor decision to rent a dress whose architecture at the bodice requires a flat chest. It fit my waist and hips beautifully, but my chest pulled the triangles into weird octagons. Needless to say, I wore something else.

Bow requires pinning
It was a comfortable and fun dress to wear to work. Overall fit was looser than I prefer, but it fit my broad shoulders and bust. If I kept it, it could easily have been tailored to fit my waist and hips. The bow at the collar came with a few ill-placed stitches that just made it droopy and sad, and it required several safety pins to get it to resemble something like an actual perky bow.
