Mademoiselle Bustier Stretch Satin Midi Dress

I read sooooo many reviews about this before ordering so I’m going to give details to help others. I am 5’3 26.5” waist 32d/34c and I ordered a small. It was perfect in the waist, has a bit of stretch and the bust was great but I will add a stick on bra for extra oomph. This dress is heavy, and reminds me of dresses you see in museums of Parisian woman of the past it’s just stunning and you’ll feel like a princess!

OMG!!! This dress is STUNNING! The fit, the attention to detail! Wow!! I feel like a true lady in this! As a background, I am usually a size Zero. But I am 8 months postpartum and my body is definitely different now. My boobs is a size 34F (without milk) and my stomach is definitely larger (27 inches). This dress is true to size. I know this for a fact because I measured myself given I have a new body now. I almost didn’t purchase because I knew I needed a large size than my usual size 0/xs. But I was tired of looking like an ugly mom in sweats. This dress did not disappoint! I knew I wanted something from House of CB. I actually went to their website but all their larger cup sizes were sold out. So when I saw this online, I did not hesitate! I also like that it’s from Nordstrom so if I needed to return I could always go to the store. I will NOT return! It is stunning!! It makes me feel so beautiful being a new mom!!! I’m so happy with my purchase. I’m definitely going to get that haircut that I’ve been postponing until I feel like myself. Buy the dress! Get that haircut. You deserve it!!

I was so nervous buying this dress because I wasn’t sure if I’d fit into the size I got! I was so happy when the dress zipped right up! I felt like a beautiful princess for my 21st wedding anniversary! The pink was the perfect color and the same pink I had for my bridesmaids dresses all those years ago! There was a little stretch on each side with the mesh so that was perfect! I probably could have fit the Large(A/C cup) but my tummy might have been super squished! I got so many compliments when I wore this and didn’t want to take it off. It is heavy but it felt like amazing quality. I’m 5’2” and couldn’t believe it fit me so nicely! I will definitely be ordering more of these dresses!

The XL sizing on this website is really just the L+ size shown on the company size guide, and L+ is NOT equivalent to a US XL. The L+ is equivalent to a US 10-12, which I would argue is just a regular large. If you typically where an XL, especially if you have a broader chest, this size will not fit you. The fact that in 2025 House of CB only fits up to a 35.5 inch waist is honestly laughable. Do not recommend at all.
