I'm not sure what I was expecting when I ordered this dress, but I do know that I wanted very much to fall in love with it at first sight....I almost sent it back. It does not fit well around my arms and shoulders and the upper bodice material snags very easily. Also, the bottom of the dress is rounded. As you walk, the train part of the dress trails folded over on its self...thus it looks a bit odd. I hung the dress in my closet and walked away.
