Hello there, Alfre.
May I ask a few questions, please.
> what is the length of the dress (overall, as well as waist-to-hem.)
> would the bust accommodate properly slightly a 33.5"-34" in figure (without flattening or causing spillage/quad-boob, please!)
> what is the fabric like (content? stiff or rough at all metallic? Would it crack on creases with time?)

Thank you!

Hi Alex! I would love to answer your questions! I don't have the dress in front of me at the moment but I wanted to try to answer your questions now and I will measure the length of the dress when I go home later. 

I can tell you the length of the dress on my body is about 2 inches below my knees and my height is 5'2". I have a smallish chest (I wear a 32-34B bra and a big butt 35inch hips). It covers my chest very nicely without being revealing at all.  I feel that the bust CAN accommodate 33.5-34 but with some definite (but not unattractive) cleavage. It won't flatten your chest but I can't guarantee that there will not be any spillage. I suppose as long as proper undergarments are worn you should be alright. So if you are ok with that then it could work.

The fabric is a stretch lamé that will hug your curves really nicely. It's not stiff or rough to the point of cracking at all. The fabric is really great quality. As long as the dress is cared for properly (like any other garment) it will last for years. The dress is lined inside with a cotton fabric. Below is a photo of the back of the dress and you can see the under layer of it as well. It also has buttons on the inside part of the bust that I suspect are for optional straps (which I did not order with the dress originally). I believe it can be adjusted to look like the Voodoo Vixen Dress from PUG, which if you have a slightly bigger bust, will offer tons of support, but like I stated before, as long as you have on proper undergarments, you should be A-OK even without them.

Hope that helps! I'll post an accurate measurement of the length later today.

Hi again Alex! From the waist to the hem, the length is 24 inches.

Thank you, Alfre. I am a 30DD/32D and 5"4.5 with a longer waist. I shall go over your measurements and compare this evening to get back to you. If you could, may I also know the bustier length as well please? I realise a little tricky, but if you could measure the cup (top seam to below cup), as well as length over the cup to the waist seam. Thank you so much for your help!

Alex the top seam to the bottom of the cup is about 5.5 inches. The top hem to the seam of the waist is just under 9 inches.

Thank you for your patience and all the helpful information, Alfre.
I am afraid that the measurements shall not work for me — the bust would be rather low plunging for my comfort if I am to fit it properly under my cup size, and the length is a little shorter than I like. :( It is such a beautiful dress — good luck with your sale/swap, and I am seriously envious of the girl whom this fits properly!

No worries! I would hate for you to get it and it doesn't fit properly!

Hi, I wear an xs In pinup couture. I am a 34C 25 and a half inch waist, 5foot 9 and a half. would this work for me? I love it!

I also wear XS in PUG. If our measurements are similar (your bust is a little bigger than mine) the dress should fit although it might hit your knees instead of going just past them like it does on me (I'm 5'2") You will likely have an exciting yet still appropriate amount of cleavage ;) no more than what you would normally have with anything you wear from PUG, since the sizing is also similar (if not the same) to PUG sizing.
