Santana Strapless Draped Satin Corset Cocktail Dress

I have returned this dress 3 times because of sizing. I just ordered from the manufactured only because Nordstrom did not have the size I think will be the best fit (M A/C). The Small A/C was the best fit for my chest with the top hook secured and from the waist down but we could not zip it up the middle of my back without looking "squeezed" and fearing we'd break the zipper. I tried the Small D/E even though I am a 32B, and that had the same issue with the back and the chest was too large. We ordered the Medium D/E because the Medium A/C was sold out. With the Medium D/E, the cups are way too large, it was a little big everywhere and I think alterations would be too difficult given the boning in the torso and chest. I am hoping the Medium A/C from the House of CB works with minimum alterations needed. I wish I could have tried that size from Nordstrom (sold out). But for my husband loving this dress so much, I would have quit in my quest for the "right fit". This dress is very difficult to fit into but it is truly beautiful. I am hopeful the Medium A/C will require minimal alterations. For reference, I wear a size small, or 2-4, in all clothing styles but occasionally size down to petite small or extra small. If you love the dress, size up!
