I knew this dress ran small when I bought it, but they were sold out of the next size up in both colors and I really wanted it. I easily zipped this up, but as expected, the top is small on me. Still, the ties are adjustable and even though it's small in the bust, it is wearable, so I do not regret buying it. That said, I would have sized up based upon reviews and size chart had they had a larger size.
