The dress is well constructed, beautiful and flattering and will make an awesome Renaissance Faire costume, especially when paired with the cool Elizabethan-style corset I acquired at last year's RenFaire! Do be sure to hand wash and line dry, as the fabric may shrink. Bonus: seller is delightful to deal with. I was at the upper end of the size range for this isze, and it turned out to be a little small for me -- but she kindly exchanged it for the next size up, no problem.
