This gothic jacket is brand H & R and is size 12 but that's a small 12- i'd say it's more like a sz 10.  I wear a 12 now an this no longer fits me....it fit when i was size 10.  My bust was always too large so i couldn't button the top few buttons, i wore a shirt under-  my bust is 36DDD  which is too large.    Even with the lacing.    Best for a smaller chest, size small 12 or 10...
