This is a beautiful dress no doubt about it, however; it runs a bit small. I wore it the first night and the zipper broke :-(. VERY DISAAPOINTING as I had an event an no back up dress. The dress is well made, and the material is extremely nice. I wanted to keep the dress so I had the zipper sent off to repair at the tailors and it cost more to repair  than it did to purchase! Very upsetting...That's why the 3* overall beautiful dress but that zipper....and the sizing was off. I will order again, just in a bigger size because the dress is very flattering.
