This dress is beautiful! The colour and material is very nice. however the top part is not fitting properly. The bones are sticking out where it wants to and it's not holding the shape of your bust. It doesn't have a zipper so you have to wiggle your way in hoping not to burst the dress open. It's not very comfortable and sending it back is way to much of a hassle😩.

Velvet yes. Boning also points outward at the bottom. Very stretchy so it can run big. Visually it’s like a box. I was looking for more fit to eventuate but it does not do that. Would like to return it!!!
