Print Tie Waist Romper

I normally wear a size 12 and go up to a 14 if I want something a little looser or if I'm concerned about the top fitting my large chest. I ordered this in a size 14 since I wanted more room in a romper, and I couldn't even button it. And not like it was close and I just need to size up again...the buttons were a good 4" apart at the waist and even worse at the bust, and rather comical. I was able to pull it on without an issue, which was also strange that I could get into it while the buttons were still so far apart on me. The material was also really stiff to the point that everything just stuck straight out to the sides. It didn't drape at all and even if I had ordered a size 44 (which I may have needed given how small this thing was), I could tell the fabric would not have been flattering on me and would have made me look very wide. It's too bad because I hoped this would be the perfect fall romper for the Florida heat and I really do love the pattern.
