Beautiful dress— we did it for Christmas with a sparkly black belt around the waist. Perfect for pictures with a cute hat Washes up very nicely and is very comfortable Dress would be flattering on a variety of body types because it fits generously, but it falls nicely on a slimmer frame The hem is a little bit high low, which makes it easier to walk in. This is also a dress that you could get multiple years out of based on the style and length. I always feel joyfully runs a bit long, but this one worked well as a 12th because of the higher front Smoke free home
