I bought this dress for my daughter for Christmas because she wanted something that would be a little dressy but one she could still wear with a pair of sandals in the summer. She got that with this dress. It is more of a chiffon material so there is no give to it at all. She is very large chested, so it was a little snug in that area, but it still looked very good on. I ordered her the beige color but will also order this dress in the red. It is a beautiful dress and very reasonably priced.
