I'm a fairly standard size, middle of the road 12 so maybe this isn't aimed at me but this is just THE weirdest cut of dress. I loved the fabric, so I bought an Ivana which is just a standard style. I can't in good conscience recommend this dress to anyone, unless the dressmaker explained to me why its cut the way it is. I'm large busted and the fluted edging along the bust didn't sit under my bust, and the tie made the whole dress look worse not better as it didn't follow a seam. I loved the long sleeves but they were a bit too voluminous. Its not baby doll, its just....?
This dress really put me off LPD and why you keep trying different cuts/styles and don't just stick with what works.
