The dress is gorgeous but not a great fit on me. I bought the navy in size 12. The dress part fitted fine but the lace top was too tight. Size 14 top was also too tight across the bust. I am usually a size 12 or 14 top. I am buying a size 16 and getting my daughter, a seamstress, to cut it down to fit. Worth it as it is lovely quality and good value. The pleated dress hangs well and the lace top is very soft.
