I am just under 5' 7" and my bust is typically a 34/36 DD, depending on the bra. I had gained some weight and wasn't sure what dress size I was bc of it (140lbs). I read in other reviews the dress ran small in the bust.... So, to be safe, since I have a large bust but small rib cage, I ordered the 6L and 8L as my back up. The 6L fit everywhere except the bust. Couldn't even zip the sucker. The 8L even was tight in the bust but was comfy everywhere else. It does have built in bowings in the chest area and I didn't need a corset or bra but did it anyways to just hold a cleaner look. This dress had many many compliments all night and was super comfortable to move in. It stayed up well and I was not adjusting at all hardly throughout the 12 hours I had it on! Loved it!!!
