Floral Linen Blend Fit & Flare Midi Dress

I bought a size larger than normal (size 18) because it is fitted through the torso and made of material with zero stretch. The dress is perfect in every way fitting wise except that there is a good 2 inch gap in the back to make the zipper close. There is no way this dress would ever zip up and if I were to lose enough weight so that the zipper would close the rest of the dress would be terribly oversized. I would've guessed this was a size 10 or 12 if I hadn't known otherwise.

Beautiful dress, for perfectly, but the zipper was tough to unzip to get into dress and tough to zip while on. I did get it to zip up, and zip back down when taking off but it was very sticky. When taking off I realized the threads around the bottom of zipper were loose, so I’m sending back. Wish the quality of the zipper was better since I’d live to keep, but replacing the zipper will double the cost of the dress. Totally bummed. If I find one size up, I might purchase so there’s more give.
