Great dress but just not for my body type.  I went up a size as recommended by the comments.  My problem was that it basically accentuated my gut!  This dress isn't for the those of us who have a stomach.  I'm also broad shouldered so it was a tad tight at the top but the material does stretch a little.  I would have loved for this dress to fit me beautifully but it didn't.  Fast shipping too!
