This dress is super cute. It doesnt go as tight as I need it to for an hour glass shape but Im just going to throw a casual belt on it maybe. This is the dress pinned at my chest. It is very open. It is super comfy and forgiving though. I am 53 and it says at the very top of my foot/low ankle. I am 240 size 14 and a 36ddd in Victorias Secret bras. Size down if you're hourglass. I ordered a large and I would maybe get a medium or just even take it in at the waist about two inches. It does have a zipper but its literally pointless. I put this dress on without it. I would buy again though.
