I sized up because my bust is a lot bigger than the average curvy woman.
I am typically a roomy 2x or 3x but chose a 4x for the bust.
It was a little large around my middle but I ordered a stretchy belt on amazon to finish it off. I got my jewelry on Etsy. My first pearls!
I am a 44 to 46 DDD and am 5 ft 6 tall.
