This dress is gorgeous and the fabric is comfortable. I have a 44" bust and went with L/XL which specifies "Max bust size of 46 Inches" but it was rather snug; a perfect fit which is concerning as it may shrink when washing, so we shall see. The color matched what you see in the photo (I bought the dress in turquoise). I will be purchasing it in another color but will go one size larger because the bust sizing seems smaller than specified.
