My daughter purchased this dress for her 2017 prom. We went & got her measurements done & ordered the dress that was closest to her measurements. It fitted as expected.Just letting you know just in case you like to eat a lot: You will have no room to gain weight. So, if you feel that you are going to eat a lot then you may want to get it a little bigger.The material was thick. The train was perfect. I definitely recommend buying this dress.
