This is a beautiful dress that reminds me of the ones I had custom made in Korea. The material is thick and silky and has a nice body to it. The snaps and side zipper make it easy to get into. I wish there were more frogs on it other than the two small ones by the neck. I ordered a size up from normal going by the size chart, and the top fits beautifully, but too snug on my large bottom to sit down comfortably. Ill order the next size up again, and take the top in. This is not the fault of the dress, but due to my weird anatomy. Be warned that the slit is VERY high, and comes to the top of my thigh when it sit in it, so Ill have to stitch it closed some. Over all I would recommend it, just pay attention to the measurements when you order, as this is a form fitting garment.
