I simply followed the measuring guide provided to get all my measurements confirmed and this dress fit me absolutely perfect! I live in Melbourne, Florida and was pleasantly surprised with despite the delays of shipments of things coming from AUS, sundae muse was super attentive to communicate with me the whole time. they let me know when things were moving or were stuck. also, they always quickly responded to my inquiries. I wish all businesses had this level of quality in their outfits and this much attention to customer experience no matter how far away. 5 stars all the way for sundae muse.
