I gave this dress 4 stars because it's gorgeous and I would wear it again because I got so many compliments, but there were a lot of drawbacks. The zipper is almost impossible. Where the material gets thicker and where it attaches to the one-shoulder draping, the zipper absolutely will not budge. Even the men in my house couldn't pull the zipper up for me. I had to put it on backwards to zip it up and then turn it around. I have no idea why this worked, it makes absolutely no sense, but it's the only thing that got the zipper up. It's a tight dress so spinning it around after zipping it all the way up was no easy task. The material also has no stretch. It's so tight at the bottom that I couldn't even move my legs apart enough to walk up stairs. I pretty much had to jump up the stairs, which isn't exactly a cute look. Because it's so tight at the bottom, you also can't pull it up over your hips to use the restroom.... which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't take 15 minutes to unzip and zip again by yourself, but it literally took me 15 minutes to do that. I was sweating by the time I got it back on. It's very flattering and hugs at all the right places. I had thin, seamless underwear on underneath it but you could still see the lines so I ended up going commando. If these are issues for you, definitely size up. I also got a bigger size but I felt that the bigger one looked way too big on me so I stuck with the smaller size. Again, it was gorgeous, and I would still wear it again. But I definitely had to work to wear it.
