I love this dress!  I have the blue dotted with black halter sash and belt.  The belt is actually a satin ribbon and is really nice but I have swapped it out to a grosgrain ribbon so it will stay tied tighter longer.  The back also has elastic and a lace up so it looks great without a belt also.  The elastic gives you a bit of play room which I love.  The dress is well made of heavy enough material (but not too heavy to pull on my neck) and irons up wonderfully.  Looks good with a black petticoat or none.  Just love the look!

I ordered a medium which is my usual size- have a bust of  36C and don't wear a bra with it.  It's tight enough to keep everything in place.
