Let me start by saying the material says satin. I was concerned about it showing imperfections. Well the material is some type of satin blend so it looked and felt great. Not thin at all! Very stretchy and pretty flattering. I'm pretty sure it would look nice on any body type. But I must say its pretty tall girl friendly. I'm 5'9" and it was still long enough. The dress has a unique train. It has a sturdy material (see pictures)that's attached to the bottom of the dress that makes the train lay better. For the most part the dress fits true to size. Typical I am a 10/12 and I ordered a 12. Amazon recommended that I get a 14. Well after reading the reviews I went with my normal size. It was still a little big so I could have sized down to a 10 but I think the length would have been a problem then. The top of the dress is for someone with fuller breast or a wider back and shoulder. It was too big and the only reason I gave it 4 stars. But you can easily remedy that by wearing the dress slightly off the shoulders (see pictures) to stretch out the material to keep it from drooping. The only other thing is the top front of the dress has a sheer see through material. I really don't like it too much because its lighter than my skin tone which makes it noticeable. You can't remove it because it actually hold the breast area together (prevents boobie spillage). But overall it was a good buy! Good material and very nice quality. I'm very happy with the dress! BTW it didn't come quick so if you need it soon you need to order as soon as possible.
