Get the bust size that fits
"Kudos! Lovely style. The waist measures 2" larger when buttoned than the chart says. Had to go through several sizes between DK and Macy's to find the right fit because I was relying on the size chart. I'm a 4-6 on top and maybe a 10 on the bottom. The waist on the size 6 dress is 30" when buttoned and the top fits perfectly. I am mother of the bride and 67 years old. I never wear a dress so it had to be a comfortable semi-formal A-line, not "old" looking nor a skin-tight sheath dress made for a 20 year old. Make sure the top fits well: true to size on top, large on the bottom but adjustable."
