I really researched this dress before buying it...I am very impressed. The quality of the fabric surprised me! Beautiful chiffon with a satin underlay...and lined. Built in bra is really nice (no need to buy special foundation garment). I did provide measurements....the length and bustline were perfect! The only alteration I am having made is to the waist...I did not want it to be too small, so I sent true measurement of my waist...just a little bigger around the waist than I liked so having it taken in a bit. The shop taking care of the alterations love my dress and called it "simple and elegant". I am 5'7" and did not want the dress too far past my knees so I shortened the hollow to the floor measurements...hits right at the knee! This dress is in Ivory and will be perfect for my beach wedding in June....If I ever need another formal, I will not hesitate to purchase from this company and will recommend them as well!
