I was shocked and amazed!! This dress is beautiful, true to size. She is so tiny, she could have sized down (we intentionally sized up). You can wrap this gown in a ball, toss it in a bag and it comes out beautiful! First time I haven't had to steam or have a dress professionally pressed before she could wear it. The shoulder straps are a tad interesting to fit. She wanted them half on so we rigged them a little but they stayed in place. Btw- the smaller sizes..this is a 6, zip straight up. They do not come with the tied corset that is shown in some of the pictures. There's a little "belt" sown in (doesn't function as a belt) that has a navy or bright blue stone at the waist. So gorgeous and for less than $200..a steal! She was the Belle of the Ball for sure!!
