It broke my heart to have to return this dress. I loved the style, the material, and the pattern.  I just don't know whom it was supposed to fit.  I marked it as too small, but it was also too large, i.e. the waist felt loose but the bust was snug and the shoulders were worse. It seemed like the dress kept getting smaller as it worked its way up until it turned into a strait-jacket. But a very pretty one!
