This dress didn't look anything like the picture at all. The material somewhat resembled a bathing suit material. However I ordered it to wear to my Aunts funeral and thankfully I was able to pull it off! Im kinda use to this when ordering from Amazon... you never know what you're going to get. I ordered a medium but I typically wear a large. It fit kinda big in the stomach area when I stood up but that was probably a good thing lol.
