Salon Stretch Fit & Flare Dress

I have to go up one size in DKNY, consistently. The bigger size, 12, fit but there are several annoyances with this dress. If you have a large bust the chest s very open, which you would never imagine from the picture, which appears as if it is sewn closed. I think you would need to be an A or B cup for it to look closed like that. I used a modesty panel and it still was just way too open for my taste, considering what the picture looks like, half my bosom was needing coverage! Also, the belt is very weird and hard to explain. There are multiple belt loops and I could barely get it on for all the ways it was attached and needed to be adjusted. It was a big pain in the neck. Next, the waist is much too high and there is nothing to be done about it because of the belt loops. Finally, it has a side zip which I hate. Why not just zip up the back? Overall, the dress is pretty and the material is nice but all of these annoyances mean I will rarely if ever wear it so it is going back. I was surprised by how may issues I had with this dress and feel that most of them are design flaws.
