I looked at other reviews and I decided to get it bigger so the dress would fall better and get it altered if necessary. When I got it and tried it on it looked so nice and the style is sexy. It did all it was supposed to do. I put it on for a date. THE PROBLEM IS THE MATERIAL THAT THE DRESS IS MADE OUT OF! By The time I got downstairs the dress material was rubbing against each other and the dress was getting higher and higher. I kept adjusting it pulling the dress down. I was walking down the block and the dress was underneath my butt! I had to hold the dress down with both hands hurried to my car and call my daughter to bring me another alternative dress downstairs. I put a simple spaghetti strap black dress on and I still put the blue top part of the dress on since I had done my makeup to match. By the time I got to my dinner destination the sleeves were doing the same thing. The dress was doing bunching up underneath my armpits. I eventually had to take that off. The mesh top layer with the thin bottom lining did not pair. Well. They rub against each other and ride up. There's no way around it. It doesn't matter what size you get or what you do so the dress is absolutely useless to me. I can't even give it to anybody. If I wanted to keep it, I'd have to rip the lining off and replace the whole inside lining with something else.

Very disappointed. I wore this dress to work and had to leave because it kept rising up. I purposely purchase this dress bigger to make sure it would fit especially with the top being a separate. (I didn't wear that part to work i wore it with a blazer) I had to leave work to cone home to change clothes. I will donate this dress. I wore it for 3 hrs only
