Bought this dress for upcoming Spring Break trip. Lovely details and colors.
I bought this lovely dress a few weeks ago in a medium. Typically, my 42" bust stretches out medium tops. This was my second dress purchase. It fit in the bust, but was too big in my 30" waist and 40" hips, to my surprise. I liked the pattern enough that I paid to have it altered, including hemming and sewing the slit closed. If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered a Small, which my body definitely is not. I would say you should go down a size, and the embellished neck piece does ... not lay flat. The material is fairly thin. In my area, I will not see anyone else wearing this dress, and it looks fabulous now.
