Lovely dress. It just wasn't the right shade of burgundy so I returned it. Really more of a red/maroon. The back is lower then a bra, so it will show if you try to wear a regular one. It does have thick bra cups so you can go bra less, but those things aren't holding anything in place past a B cup. If you are well endowed, forget it. The dress is well made. The lace is lined with a mesh fabric- some reviews said theirs wasn't lined, but this was.
