As with any type of clothing for people, sizes are the biggest concern. Especially with garments that must fit perfectly in so many areas of the body, it is hard to get these dresses to fit everyone the best. Everyone has different body shapes and sizes, so it is always a challenge to get the size of a formal gown perfect. They will be too small in the bust, hips, and waist, or too long and too big in the shoulders. One thing that makes this situation worse is if the clothing comes from another country, such as Taiwan or Singapore where the women there tend to be smaller in size than American women. They make their dress sizes for the smaller woman making it hard for larger women to get the proper fit. They often do not allow for large busts, hips, or waists that plenty of women need for a comfortable fit.
