I'm torn. The dress itself is cute, but it's not a perfect fit based on other dresses I have seen you wear. You have the same problem I have with shrinking bewbage, it looks like too much material on the top so it's swallowing your chest instead of flattering it (a serious problem with me and certain tops). But it does make your waist look tiny, so that is a plus!

This was the main thing that is giving me pause. It's slightly big on top. However, I think part of the problem right now is that it's laying funny because it's so wrinkled, and it should look better once it is ironed.
Yeah, the only thing is that it has a side zipper, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to take in the top.
I really, really like the print and the shape otherwise, so I think I'm going to make it work one way or another.
Maybe the tailor can add some darts to it?
Maybe. I really need to find a good tailor. I get nervous when I need anything more than a hem done. It's not that the guy at the dry cleaner has every screwed up. It's just that his English is spotty, and I never feel certain that we are fully communicating.

Oh, I also realized I'll be near an Anthro tomorrow. If they have a size down in stock, I could see how that fits. That might actually be the simplest solution.

Well it truly doesn't look bad on you at all, so even if you don't get a chance to have it altered it will probably look just fine once it's ironed. A padded bra might help fill it in, too.

LOL, I was wearing one in the picture. I don't own any that aren't (except sports bras).
