I’m a curvy girl- and my boobs/butt definitely make getting “them comfortable” a challenge for the waist area.
I tried 3 sizes: 10, 12, 14. Landed on the 12. Main takeaways: the fabric is absolutely gorgeous and the construction is top notch.
What I would suggest considering is: if you have full (DD or +) cup size girlfriends- this fabric does not have stretch!!! You HAVE to size for them & allow that everything/measurement else can be taken in as needed. An added expense yes! For an exquisite curated fabric & timeless style- yes!
For anyone wanting a “forgivable stretch” on the top… not so much.
