this dress is amazing!!! the material is so soft and silky feeling..it is well constructed..it moves beautifully.. the colors are so vibrant! the picture really does not do it justice..it is truely beautiful and worth the money..however! i have a pear shaped body and it makes me look like a big balloon. i wanted it to work so bad.but im gona send it back..i would not recommend this for pear shaped women..or a very hippy women.if you have a slender body then go for it!..
