This dress exceeded all expectations I ordered kinda last minute and got it with one day to spare. It is simply beautiful I didn't realize the detail in this dress was so astounding. I will say I ordered a 16 which in a regular dress would have been too big for her but this was too small so I took it to a tailor and they took the bottom apart and made it fit her wonderfully. So, I would order two sizes larger and if necessary get it taken in. She got so many compliments! ! ! Thanks MillyBridal. . . I will be ordering in the future
