The fabric, which you can sort of tell from the site, is satin and has absolutely no give, so this one has to fit you as cut. But I'm still in love with the dress for its lovely color, great swingy skirt, and overall effect. Awesome neckline that worked ok with my C cup but is meant for smaller.

Absolutely beautiful details like I expected, but ultimately not enough give or even movement enough to be comfortable/feel cute. I needed a dress-up look that was a bit modest but still flattering, and this dress was surprisingly unaccepting of my boobs/hips. Very pretty design, and go for it if you're of a very slim/straight build.

The dress doesn't run terribly small, but it's exactly what the picture shows - a second-skin type mini. Don't pick it if you're not ready to put on some Spanx and show off your legs. I wore it with a cute little shrug and extra high wedges, and I felt super hot - without the sweater, the dress is a bit revealing for a fancy event. The halter style of the neckline is beautiful and very flattering if you're smaller to medium on top, and the whole dress is ruched to hide any trouble spots. A gorgeous pick for a day when you're feeling confident!
