dress is very pretty. it runs smaller than a US size 5X. if you are *extra busty* it will not fit. it will not go over my *BUST* this is not their fault, i measured wrong. they are very good at responding fast to your questions or concerns. i love the look of the dress, the detail is very pretty. the hood is pointy. love how it is made. going for a themed wedding. will be using this dress as my wedding dress, after a seam ripper and a bit of extra fabric it will fit. it is only the top(bust) area that does not fit me. the rest fits. keep in mind if you are *bigger*there is no stretch to this dress. the shipping time is good. the dress was packaged good.
