i couldn't be more pleased with this dress! i was apprehensive after reading all the poor reviews but took a chance anyway and i'm glad i did. the fit is SO flattering and the material is nice and gauzy.

i will say a few things to be aware of though- everyone is absolutely right that you should order up a size. i usually wear a medium in clothing and have a C cup, so i ordered the medium/large and for a moment when i was first putting on the dress i thought it was going to be too small. the other thing to note is that in the pictures, the ivory color looks like an almost-white cream color. when i received mine it's definitely much darker than i expected, but it's still very pretty.

it's a great base for a costume and i didn't find that it was uncomfortable with a corset, but you should probably wear shorts or something underneath it because the front is a little shorter than i realized.
