The material was too heavy and the open piece in the mid section was not appealing.

This dress is beautiful and looks exactly like the picture, but it has an unnecessary split in the stomach area separating the top from the bottom. This isn’t a problem for me, but if u have huge boobs or a big stomach it may cause your stomach to hang out. Fashion Nova should have made that clear in the description. I am 5’5, 220 pounds, and I normally wear FN xl, the xl fits nice but I’m getting it took up in the waist for a more snatched look, I wish I would’ve gotten a large but I am still happy with my purchase. The dress is heavy and the same quality that you would get at a formal boutique.
