i had to get this dress for my friends wedding. it is very simple, and pretty. i am "big boned" but it still flatters my body very nicely. i will advise for sizing though to go up if your measurements are on the border, i have about a 38d chest and the top was a bit snug. now i am in the awkward position to lose a few pounds last minute. it is always easier to take something in than let it out. but very pretty dress!
