I bought this dress for a friend's evening wedding. It is a very flowy, stretchy, beautiful dress. I will still have to wear a strapless bra with this since the straps don't quite hit at the right place for me to wear a normal bra, but I love the 'off the shoulder' look of this with the security of it having straps. The dress is very stretchy and forgiving. I will probably have to get it altered though. At 5 feet and 6 inches, the skirt is about 4 inches loo long for me. Money well spent though!
