Pretty dress, but way too "long". I don't mean just the skirt... it's long through the torso, neckline, bodice, etc. The material is thin and see-through when you hold it up to the light. I could see bulges on my hips that I didn't even know I had. You will definitely need a shaper with this, even if you are in good shape like I am.
I ordered black in the scoop neck style. I'm curious if the material used is different for the different styles, since some are claiming it is thick material. Not thick, but it's sort of a heavy dress, dense. It's the kind that grows as you wear it, i.e., it gets longer and longer. The neckline just barely concealed the top edge of my bra, so I suspect it would eventually reveal a good portion of it.
There's no zipper on this dress, but it's easy to pull on and it was comfortable. I'm 5'1" and 116 pounds. I ordered the extra small. The length came about 4 inches past my feet. I don't mind hemming a dress, but it's a lot more difficult and sometimes impossible to fix a long torso.
