The fabric is gorgeous, the blue tie straps are nice, but there is no boning or underwire in the bodice, the way the images clearly show. I was still ok without that since the fabric and cut is gorgeous, but having the breast cups misplaced so it doesn’t even line up with your body, looks so awkward and unflattering. I’m so sad it looks horrible in the bust area. I might just wear it with a sweater to use as a skirt….Size 5x for someone who is an xl is extreme size numbering. The tulle was chintzy, hardly a puff in the sleeves and the ruffles are tiny and not full like the photos.Absolutely love this dress! It is beautifully made. I do recommend Sizing up. I’m typically a Small, and I got a Medium. The only con is that the breast/cup area doesn’t align. It’s too high up, you can see in my pics. Other than that, beautiful comfy dress!
