Strapless Gown

I ordered this is a 12. I am typically a 10-12 in formal dresses. I definitely should have looked at the size chart. Once the zipper got to the bust part of my body, it would not even come close to zipping. I went back and looked at the size chart after trying it on. I would need to go up to a 16 for this to fit; however, I am pretty sure it would be large everywhere else. This is a lovely dress. I am so sad to even have to return it. It’s now sold out in all the sizes; so I can’t even try it on in a larger size. Highly recommend looking at the size chart measurements before ordering.
