Everything about this dress was beautiful--the color, the cut, the drape in the front and the light airy chiffon, but it was too tight at the top for me. I usually have good luck with Badgley Mischka dresses, but this one must run smaller than usual(especially considering that I am down about 15 lbs since the last time I rented and could fit into a size 14 dress by this designer). It had absolutely no stretch and it was more fitted than it appears on the model. It might camouflage minor flaws, but I still felt my stomach was showing through a bit. It also has a band going across the natural waist, underneath the draped bust that you can't see in the photos. In my picture it looks like it fits because I am holding it up with my arms, but there was a good 3-4 inches of space open at the top that I couldn't zip. It might help to know that my bust measurement is 43 inches and the dress was a size 14.
