i really liked this dress! when i first got it, i thought "whoa" because the design is so busy. but when i got it on, it fit great (very stretchy and comfy) and looked really fun! the only thing i did not like was that the straps are not adjustable (i sent mine to my tailer to shorten the straps) and the black ribbon around the bust is cheap looking and ugly. good thing is, you can remove the ribbon and cut off the little loops of black string that helps the ribbon stay in place. once you take it off, the dress looks way better. i don't recommend the dress for girls who are pear shaped or otherwise bottom-heavy, the pattern on the dress is not nice to generous curves. but if you are on the skinny/built like a stick/not much definition in the waist type girl, this makes you look curvier! its a pretty good quality dress for something that is made of only man-made materials! i bet the dress has the potential to outlive us all!
WARNING: the dress has the itchiest, most horrible tag on the back. please please take it to your tailer to remove the tag. DON'T DO IT YOURSELF. the tag was stitched into the garment in such a way that once you snip the thread holding it in place, you've messed up the seam. then you'll have to take it to the tailor anyhow to get it fixed. save yourself the hassle and just have a professional do it. i learned this the hard way.
