Pictures don’t do this dress justice, so pretty and flattering. Surprise top and a shorter inside lining with a slightly sheer taffeta feeling overlay. Ties around the waist to help define that area and has such a pretty swishy sound when you walk. I purchased at a boutique in key west for a wedding but ended up wearing another dress instead. Marked as a 1x but I wore as a true to size 12 and while it had some extra room it fit and looked very pretty and flattering on. Really love this dress!
