Pleated Seamed Bodice Jacquard Maxi Cocktail Dress

I got a size small, I'm on the cusp of a 4, nearing a 6. Bust size 34D. The top fits great, and there's room for my girls. I'd say this is made for a hourglass figure because there's room in the top and obviously room in the hips. The fabric is stunning. Very expensive looking without being too heavy. And IT HAS POCKETS! I'm 5'4" and this hits my ankles so it's definitely a little longer than on the model but I don't mind.

I was SO excited to get this dress and try it on for an upcoming wedding I'm attending. The bust is SO ill-fitted, baggy in the arm pits, some how made my chest look half its size, and made my shoulders look twice as big. The pockets seem like they'd be a nice touch, but the way they are constructed into the skirt make the pleating stick really far out, creating a crazy (for lack of a better term) silhouette. I couldn't get this dress packaged up fast enough to send back, which is an awful shame because the material and color are so beautiful. Reference: I'm 5'11", ordered a size 16 in plum
