Dress size challenge

It's okay, we all think we can fit into a smaller, sleeker dress size, a perfect dress that could take an inverted triangle shape and make it into the coveted hourglass shape. 

Juniors' dresses (odd size numbers) are often trendy, cheap in price, really tight to squeeze into and almost impossible to get out of.  Several times, I have been able to (stupidly) squeeze into a dress that felt like I would have needed to embarrassingly ask an SA to help me out of.  The problem is that the dresses are cut for smaller body ratios.

Women's dresses (even size numbers) take a lot of trying on of different sizes, lengths, styles, fabrics, color combinations to find that flattering fit.  Letter sizes (S/M/L/XL) seem to be more forgiving than numbered sizes.  Stretchy dresses can give a nice fitted feel as they cling to your body.

Wearing the right bra, both in size and style, can have a bold impact on how the perfect dress looks in a dressing room selfie.
