Okay, this dress really is adorable. The silhouette is so cute and it has pockets! However, it's a strange fit on me. Based on the measurements, I got a Large and it was so big it just slipped off my body! So I got a medium and it fit around my waist, but the bust is still much too large. In general..., I think the problem lies with the pattern. The flare out from waist to bust is large, so you'd have to be quite broad in the chest/shoulders to actually hold the top of the dress up with your body. If you have top heavy breasts, or wear a good bra, I think you could fill it out, but for me there's such a large amount of gapping that there's no way I could wear this strapless. For inverted triangle shapes for sure. Granted, I did go braless (32D) but the band at the top is just so wide that I imagine most people couldn't go strapless. I'm afraid that if I try the small, either the same issue will happen or it'd be too tight on my waist. I do like it with the straps, and although still loose at the top, it's at least comfortable lol. It would be helpful if there was a chart for specific product measurements instead of general ones. Definitely returning the Large, jury's still out on the medium. Not sure if it's worth the trouble trying a third time. My measurements are 38 bust, 31 waist, 41 hip, 5'6 160 lbs.
