When I got married they had to do last minute changes to my dress because of my shoulders, which required some major double sided tape around the bust. <br />When I was a bridesmaid for my sister in law, my dress ripped the morning as we were getting ready. I had to call the dressmaker and did some on the spot alterations.

I got the drape front knit dress in what I hope is a gorgeous turquoise colour. I ordered it sleeveless with hopefully a bit of a room to add a shell underneath -- I added about an inch to my general measurements. I'm so broad shouldered that buying without trying a dress with added sleeves is too nerve-wracking! As you noted, I put my height as 2 inches taller than I actually am.

By the way, dupioni is a kind of silk weave that's designed to have imperfections (those slubs you're talking about in your blog). The nubby texture is intentional and adds to the sheen. It's more expensive than other fabrics and is typically used in bridal (I had gorgeous silk dupioni curtains in my house at one time, also with the slubs). I think the weaver uses different weights of silk thread in different directions to get the effect, and since you're dealing with a cocoon, imperfections are to be somewhat expected. Definitely do not iron that dress.
