This dress was made horribly. I ended up throwing it away.

i wanted to love this dress so bad and bought it even with the bad reviews, sizing up since they said to. I am a 2X but am closer to a 1X than 3X for reference. THE WARS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS ZIPPER! there is no chance of closing it alone. it has 2 different spots where there is a seam on the zipper route so you need momentum to get over them and w/ the one strap you cant rotate the dress to get a better angle/ leverage to close it. i took a bunch of photos but im not given the option to upload them, but basically i would say if you cant size up 2 full sizes skip the dress. also, the cut out is quite a bit bigger than expected. Im still hoping to wear this to a wedding (w help closing the zipper lol) but will be taking it apart and just keeping the bottom as a skirt after the event. it photographs beautifully but again is just a nightmare to get on
