Beautiful dress, I was so excited to get it. Planned on wearing it for Easter. However the top was too tight. I could button it just barely ( by the way, it has a lot of loops for buttons, time consuming and annoying.) But the deciding factor was how tight it was on my shoulders. It made it look like I had shoulder pads on. I have wide shoulders so it might work for some of you. I would have tried a bigger size but then the bottom would have been huge. The Chinese need to learn we aren't all 5'2" and 100 lbs.
