this is not a typical, cheap, quickly sewn dress. the satin fabric is smooth, heavier than the cheap stuff, and the dress is welllllll maaaaade! i ordered this dress for my mom. we ordered an XL since the dress will be form fitting despite her usually wearing a Large. I'm so glad i went up a size because it fit perfectly. Please be aware of your body measurements prior to ordering this dress. The champagne color is perfect, the dress flows down to just above her feet. she is 5'7. The cleavage area isn't too risque', but the low back part of the dress will definitely need a different kind of bra to wear with it, unless you plan to use pasties, tape, a backless bra, or just a bra with a low back strap. its a beautiful dress, one that can be worn to a black tie event without the humongous price tag.
