Alex Evenings Women's Empire Waist Bolero Jacket Dress - Formal Evening Gown for Weddings, Parties & Special Occasions (Petite & Regular Sizes)

Very nice dress. I bought it as a step mother of the bride dress. I am 5’ 1/2”, 145 pounds. I got an 8 petite. I had the sleeves shortened about 2 inches and the bottom taken up an inch. The bust could have been a tad tighter but it fit well enough there that I didn’t feel that part needed to be altered. Bra size is 36D. This is very flattering and I received compliments all night long. It was very comfortable and breathable (sometimes polyester makes me hot and sweaty but this did not at all.). I did feel like I needed to wear a spanx like undergarment to smooth out imperfections in my hips and butt. The only downside is glitter was falling off.
