I’m a 10-12 in most brands and I couldn’t get these buttoned.

I really wanted to love this dress. I’m a 38DD and the gold buttons hit at a very unfortunate part of my bustline. The proportions of the top half were very off and I couldn’t make it work. Retuned without wearing, unfortunately.

I ordered a size 10 and 12. I first tried on the 12 and thought I could probably size down to the 10. However, the 10 was significantly larger than the 12, perhaps due to wear, stretching, etc. It fit like a sack, so I went with the 12. It was very easy to wear: regular bra (and flattering for size D), not too fitted so no body-skimming undergarments were needed, the sequins weren't irritating at all, and it was just the right length. Nude heels worked well with it (at least before changing into flats later in the evening). I got many compliments on this dress and I felt really great in it.
