I’m in the same boat as you.  Here is what I decided.  I really liked the floral and if when it arrives i still like it, but feel its too low on my breast, I’ll just sew the material together a bit.  Short waisted and big busted makes it hard to fit a lot of clothing styles… and usually its the styles that are in trend!  Designers tend to style clothes to their own bodies, we need a designer that is between a Melissa and Iman for us. 

Thank you. It is what I have to do on many clothes. But I do not want to adjust it, if it costs too much to buy. HSN needs some petite sizing for short waisted women. Not just length in the leg, which is much easier to fix.

Hi ycrep!  Welcome to the Community!  Thank you for bringing up this issue for us shortwaisted women!  I was wondering the same thing! 

No way of knowing this.  I’m short and I ordered it.  If it doesn’t work out for me, it goes back.  I haven’t returned anything in years because I haven’t bought anything that had contradictory sizing.
