This gorgeous dress is a absolute show stopper. I wore it one time. The corset like waist has no give. It fits so snug around my ribs I took it to a tailor to try to make it a little bigger and he laughed at me. He remarked that the dress is so well made it would take a month to disassemble it. The long flowing skirt section is lightly lined with a very comfortable fabric. This is a true size 4 and could be made smaller quite easily.
