Belted Sleeveless Fit & Flare Midi Dress

Though the dress was beautifully photographed, a very nicely printed cotton sateen woven fabric, and well made, their sizes, fit & design are based on a different stature than the American market. More appropriate for their country of origin. Their sizes are completely off. These are the traditional Slim & Tall Missy sizes: XL=12, L=10, M=8, S=6, XS=4. As a NYC RTW Fashion Designer of 30+ yrs, I know all this. The bodice is oddly constructed w/a row of approximately 8 - 10 hook & eye closures, no darts for the bust nor room for an any small size breast. If you are totally flat chested, you can wear this dress very well. Besides the closures, the bodice has 2-3 beautifully tucked in 3/4” strips of the woven sateen fabric on either side. I had to return this dress because, though I am thin & an active ice skater/instructor, I do not fit into the stature category of this dress.

I had to order a size up from my normal in order for it to zip up, runs small for bigger chested ladies. I am a 36DD
