I originally ordered this dress for a birthday dinner but felt like it was a bit too elegant for it, that being said if you have a big occasion like a wedding, sweet sixteen, etc.. DEFINITELY GET THIS DRESS YOU WONT REGRET IT!! The color is beautiful! I will say if you are heavy chested this won’t fit comfortably due to the corset top portion of the dress it doesn’t stretch at all. Btw I am 5’9 200lbs, usually a size L-XL in clothing, & i’m a 38c if this helps with size reference for the fit of the corset top of the dress
