The material is gorgeous on this dress! The value for the price is incredible. Saw it on another popular prom gown site for over $700! We dropped it off to the seamstress and she even commented on how beautiful it is. Sizing is true to size for my daughter. She is smaller in the bust area, that will be the only adjustment. It is very wrinkled from coming vacuum packed, but the seamstress said no problem and she will press it. Overall we love this dress.
