This piece reminds me of a highly tailored and lined Calvin Klein dress I purchased for a wedding last year. It’s high end. This is a quality piece that will remain as a classic staple in your wardrobe for years to come. If you have curves and broad shoulders, this is made for you; it’s built for one who has a commanding frame. I have seen photos of very slender women; the dress appears to wear these women. For a curvaceous woman, you are wearing the dress. It’s as if I was stitched into the dress. This is absolutely worth every penny. I’m currently a size 16, but it looks as though I lost 2 sizes (and that is saying a lot because I'll be the first to admit when I look fat in something). Honestly, this dress makes me feel elegant and drop dead beautiful at my current weight (something I would never usually say about myself at this weight). I am grateful to have a dress that didn’t make me feel overweight. My husband, who absolutely gives me honest answers and will be the first to tell me to return something, gasped when I walked downstairs. He said, "You look absolutely stunning." Buy the dress.
