This dress is unexpectedly great! I was looking for it in black, but there was a random massive sale on the off white one. Since I wasn't sure about it, I figured I'd just try the white one at such a great price. It arrived the day before a Christmas ballroom dance party that my husband and I were going to attend, so white actually came in handy! This dress is beautiful! The fabric of the bodice is thick enough and well structured, so I didn't need to wear a bra (which is saying a lot for me with a large chest). I never go without a bra and this dress held everything in place throughout a whole evening of dancing! It's also double paneled, so it isn't see through. Neither is the skirt! I only had light pink underwear to wear with it and you couldn't see a thing through it. The skirt with the sheer overlay is just gorgeous! It's a very full overlay that falls nicely while standing and flutters perfectly while spinning. It was so much fun to dance in, very Marilyn Monroe! It made me feel like a Hollywood bombshell and I just love it. I have a very narrow torso, 32DD chest, and I'm almost 5'5. I ordered XS and it fit impeccably, I didn't have to alter a thing! The skirt comes to mid calf on me and, granted, I really fill the chest out lol. I love this dress so much! I'm looking for more excuses to wear it. I highly recommend it.
