this dress is beautiful. My husband that has no interest in clothes, saw it and said that was it. So I checked the sizing chart, and ordered it to fit my Bust, as recommended by other buyers. Well, the dress came in less time than I expected, unfortunately, it was too large. After having the dress at home, my daughter decided it was too formal for her beach wedding, so I sent it back. The dress was long, but that was to be expected. I told my husband if he would take me on a cruise, I would re-order the dress, but in the right size. The fabric was great, the color right on, the beading was beautiful and elegant.
