So, the dress came in, but I don't really know UK sizing very well, so it was quite a bit too big for me in the top (the bottom, however, fit quite well). Off to the alterations lady for me!
I got it back and it is so awesome! I had to share. Because here, we're all about sharing!
(dumb posing!)
I wore an old gap skirt for fullness/modesty underneath, because this dress is definitely transparent:
With pockets!
Outfit details:
Dress: Asos Curve, UK size 24 (I'm typically a size 18-20W in US dress sizes)
Underskirt: gap, xxl, light pink, years back
boots: lucchese's, from shepler's in austin, men's size 10
necklace: $1 bin, fremont farmer's market
All in all, I think I may order from Asos in the future (sometimes they run free/reduced international shipping promos), but I will definitely order a 22 next time!
