Meant for woman with small chest
Looks very nice on the hanger but I had to unbutton it to my waist and wear a camisole. At that point it looked ill fitting.

I ordered this for a sit down dinner event. The larger size was too tight to close with a bra on. For also protruded too far to be comfortable at a dinner.

Loved this dress. Could have used a sparkly belt, but ran out of time. If I had to do it again, I may have worn the LR, for more comfort.

Loved this dress. I couldn't have received more compliments.
I went up two sizes to fit my chest. Could have gotten away with one, as it was big at the waist. Dress is meant for someone with a long torso, so there was some bunching at the waistline. Overall a hit!!!

Valentine's Day / Work
I wanted to wear something festive for v-day for work. This was amazing. I received compliments all day! It was impotant that it had the belt to go with it. The zipper was very tough. It was a little difficult at first to zip up, but it loosened as the day went on.
