My dress arrived today via Amazon Prime. I was worried I would have to do a lot of tailoring as I fit into 3 sizes given my body type (I am bottom heavy and petite up top). I ended up ordering a dress that fits my waist with a little room for bloating after eating. My waist is 29". Then I figured I would tailor the chest and the hips worst case. NOPE didn't need to! IT'S PERFECT! The dress fits like it was made for me and let me tell you why....the back is completely adjustable with that style! You just tighten it like a corset to your needs so yes even if you get bloated like I do you could loosen it and no one would know. I am slightly overweight for my size right now (I am normally a size 4, probably a 6 now) so I bought the size 12 dress given the 29" waist measurement. Now all I have to do is shorten it slightly with some tailoring and all set. Don't be afraid to buy this dress online with Amazon. My friend is getting married last minute (the wedding is next week) and I really thought it was going to be difficult given the coral color she wanted. This was the easiest dress purchase I have ever made. In fact, it was less alteration than when I got a dress at David's Bridal a few years ago for another wedding. JUST FANTASTIC and really beautiful. The photo doesn't give it justice. It doesn't look cheap, it is high quality. It has a built in bra that makes it easy for us small chested gals which looks natural not odd. It literally looks like it was made for me I seriously cannot believe it! The bride is thrilled and I am happy she will be happy.
