Beautiful dress looks  great  even without red petticoat. Thinking abt ordering another dress in baby blue, as this dress really shows off your waist/making it appear smaller //while flaring out!!!  So comfortable too.  If you enjoy looking feminine,  you'll love this dress and how it fits  . Can be worn anywhere/ dress it up or down--- it's still beautiful! Actually I am wearing said dress right now.  I will look and see what size my dress is It is . XL/ have 42 D bust/34 Waist / 5ft 7 in  glad there is some elastic in back of dress.  Some gal must have designed this beautiful dress.  haha  Enjoy--- D Delicious/Dorothy
