The dress is beautiful, well made, and is well represented in the catalog photos.
I'm 2X and large-busted (40G), and the bust fits me but the waist is quite roomy. The shoulders are also a teeny bit wide. Average and smaller busted wearers should probably size down. I'll be getting alterations, which I had planned to anyway.
Detail not in description: there's a built in crinoline!
At 5'3" the skirt hits me just above the ankle bone.
I bought this for my son's wedding, and I can't wait to wear it!
