I turn heads in this dress! Its amazing! I hate the necklace fastner but its worth the hassle once you get it on. I am apple shaped. 42 DD and there is extra room in the top. It actually minimizes my bust. I will have to eventually get it tailored but it fits well and hides my belly fat. I am 58 1/2 and I was able to wear it with heels and it still looked really elegant and flowwy. Great buy!
