The dress fits. Well, nearly.

It's a little too tight in the arms and shoulders, so it takes a lot of wriggling around to make it sit properly and even then it's a little uncomfortable and I'm worried about ripping it. Another inch down the length of the sleeve and another two inches in the shoulders and upper back would make it fit much better. And the sleeves are too short, but that's normal for me. I'm not sure whether to send it back for alteration, or wait and get thin - with long sleeves like that I won't be able to wear it properly until at least autumn, and if I'm going to be running and so on it may well fit by then. On the other hand, my bones and joints aren't going to shrink no matter what I do, and I'll always have muscular arms.

Hmmm.

Beautiful dress though. The skirt is HUGE and I love it. The fabric is strokier than I expected it to be, even with teh silver stars it feels smooth.

Your bones aren't going to shrink, it's true, and with the aikido and horn playing the rest of you isn't going to shrink either! Get it altered, you'll feel much better in it if you're not worrying about it ripping and thinking "grr this is annoying around my armpits".
