The dress appears to be excellent quality. I purchased a size down with the blessings of seller and it fits beautifully on me. It does show a bit of my muffin top, but with a slip it'll be fine. Overly cautious when concerning having the Muffin top exposed, even a tiny bit. The dress is so slimming and very pretty. I can't wait to wear it. Love this store, seller is so patient and kind, thank you.
