This was a great dress for a great price! It held its own against alot of other "formals". Photographed beautiful, very comfy (lots of stretch) i purchased a small and it hung ok but i could have gone a size down (best fits 4. Possibly 6) I wore mine without the belt but i also puchased a fur and i wore on one shoulder. Tip: Do not wear glitter or textured shoes , i wore sone glitter Steve maddens and they stuck to the bottom of the dress
