Busty women look no further. This dress is for you. Bow chicks wow wow
vintage style that's sexy but classy... A tall order for some of us with extreme hourglass figures.
I bought the plus size small. Originally I bought this dress because I loved it so much I thought if it was too big, I'd spend the money to get it taken in. Imagine my when it fits right out of the bag! I'm 5'2 135 lbs and an extreme hourglass shape and it is very hard to shop because I'm a full DD, sometimes E. This dress has ample room in the chest and actually a little more. For once my boobs look like they have the proper fit and don't look strangled, uniboobed, squeezed in or like they're trying to escape. There is still a bit of modest cleavage which is great. I'd guess this dress is a size 8, I'm a size 6/8 nod could technical take the waist in an inch but I may just skip it because it looks good! There's definitely room to stretch larger. The waist is stretchy and has forgiving heavy flattering fabric. The color red is also really classy, there's A lot of dresses from China on Amazon that are really awful when it comes to their quality and so I was worried that this might be one of them but it's not this dress is magic.
Some other important things to note;
This dress is a stiffish stretchy material not cottony or flouncy. It does retain wrinkles and if you travel with it, you will need a garment bag or plan to leave time to press it.
If you aren't at least a full C, this top might be a bit too big for you. (But there's always wonder bra right?)
This dress is suuuuper stretchy everywhere except for the arms unfortunately. I have waifish nonbuff chicken arms so it fits me perfect but I was kind of struck by how small the arms are for a plus size dress... And they really do not stretch at all. If you have big arms or are really buff, or even a little buff, you probably want to leave sometime before your event to alter the arms... But hey, at least now you know that.
So I definitely recommend this dress , unless you have arms on the larger side. Hope that helps :)
