This dress is very gorgeous, and the material and construction seemed worth the price to me. It is, however, extremely snug under my arms, almost too snug, which is frustrating. I think it's simply the way the dress is cut - everything else (bust, waist, hips) fits fine. I think a larger size would be too big on me, but I wish the underarms weren't so tight. The sash is also difficult to get straight as well, so the black part shows.

The material is very lightweight and has a summery feel to it, but these factors mean it fairly sheer and requires flesh toned undergarments and possibly a slip as well. The ruffled neckline and pale color can further accentuate already broad shoulders and an athletic / swimmer's build. But the demure length and pretty, flowy Meet-Me-in-St.-Louis-Easter-dress feel balance that out.

I love this dress!!! You can't tell from the picture, but the layers of chiffon at the bottom are FULL of movement!!! When I wear this dress out I can't help but swish my hips just to make it move!!!! Also, it isn't so shear that you have to be too careful about undergarments showing.
