This dress was pretty, but did have concerns.  1- if you have a big chest it will fit funny on top... you either have to pull it over your chest, then the cut is really low or you have to wear the band on part of your boobs and that just looks weird. ( I pulled it down and wore a tank under).  2-  the material is heavy i'm talking heavy!  It feels like swim suite material or something or poly blend, dunno.  3-  because of the material, in a really hot climate you start to bake, unless there is are flow like a breeze or something then it's not bad.  4- I'm short 5'3",  so this was way too long, if I wore flat sandals it drug on the ground and forget going up stairs,  definitely needs hemmed if you are vertically challenged.  On a model type without curves this fits perfect.  ha ha
