the chest area is smaller in size than what the measurement chart showed so the dress is snug. I ordered 3 dresses and all are snug in the same place. they are shear, summer dresses. meaning that you can see through them. but I wear them as cover ups over bathing suits or casual outing where it would not be inappropriate for such a dress. I do think the elastic in the waist area is positioned to high in the dress but for what I am wearing it for it is fine. I do not have a long body so for someone who does the elastic maybe up under the chest which I am not sure would be all that comfortable but I cannot really say for sure
