First and foremost this dress is beautiful. It is not for meant for a busty girl, even if you are petite. The color and the material (100% silk) were what made the dress. It does have a lot of material, I thought it would make me feel "hippy" but it is cut so beautifully, I didn't feel that way at all. Def recommend it! Oh, also my dress came pretty wrinkled had to go purchase a steamer last min to get all the wrinkles out, kind of a bummer but worth it.
