the dress is very sexy and exactly like the picture. i ordered my usual size before reading the comments of issues others were having with sizing. however, i luckily fit the dress. there is slight stretch to the dress but not enough to squeeze into it. the dress is delicate and the zipper isn’t supportive. so advisory is to size up on the dress. it is really short and just came to the bottom of my butt, bending over is not an option in this number.
