The dress looks much different in person. The skirt is full and material has enough weight to it to maintain the fit and flair shape. I assume the model is much more slender and curve free causing it to look more like a flowy cotton sundress. Definitely size up if you're a D cup or larger. I'm a 36D in a size 8 with no bra and it kind of gives me quad boob. The dress lost a star because the back clasp hangs loose and gapes away from my neck. It's quite hard to put on yourself if you have nails and I had to bend the hook to keep it from coming open.
