Please take note of the following details: This dress started off as a size 14 but has been altered to fit a size 8. The waist is now 28 inches. Since it was originally a size 14, the dress has a larger built-in bra cup compared to typical size 8 dresses. In my opinion, it would be perfect for someone with a big bust and a thin waist. Just to give you an idea, I'm 5'4" and when I wore 3-inch heels, the dress almost touched the floor.
