Bought this dress for a friend's wedding and never wore it again. This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The lace overlay adds a lot of character to it since it flows as you walk. The bust is padded so you don't have to wear a bra unless you want extra support. The teal underlining is strechy and form fitting but the waistline doesn't stretch too much. The back of the dress does have an elastic band to provide a fitted look for your bust. This item is true to size and has been worn/washed only once.
