I bought this dress for a beach vacation. I initially ordered a 4. I was soo tight at the top it wouldn't zip so I sent it back and ordered a 6. The same exact problem. I took it for alterations and the seamstress said it was sewn wrong and couldn't be fixed. It also is extremely low cut and the pads are sewn almost under the armpit. The material is really cute...looks like the picture, but poorly sewn. Also the hibiscus flower on the front is HUGE and right over the stomach. Would not recommend...
