I am a 40c bust and 32in waist. It is very snug in the bust and doesn't have much give. The waist was fine but the side zipper still stuck and was difficult to zip all the way up. I'm 5'3. I purchased a separate black 3 tier crinoline to wear underneath this dress which made the dress a perfect length. I also purchased a mantilla veil and lace gloves as well as a gothic choker that comes with a masquerade mask. Not sure how I'll put all of that together yet but it will make a great Halloween costume this year. Very satisfied with this dress. The dress material is thin so I won't worry about wearing it during these warm Texas Halloween nights.
