Absolutely Beautiful.....The material is silky and smooth.  The lace, beautiful and good quality for the price.  The lace does line the upper back side of the dress, identical to the lace on the arms.  I bought this dress for my (young teen-14) formal event, and was absolutely perfect.  The neckline fit along her chest beautifully, without being too low.  The scrunching added such elegance to the dress, like in a bridesmaid style.  This dress is made to fit snug against your body, with no give - keep that in consideration.  Absolutely stunning and flattering!
