This was delivered in a clear bag with an address label on it. I was a little afraid to open what looked like plain blue polyester dress.Waited and opened with my 17 yr old. Much to my surprise, they shipped it inside out! All crystals and tulle were safe inside the folds.It is absolutely gorgeous. We are using it for Junior Prom. If we had purchased the crinolines and hoop skirt, she would look like a Quinca Princess. It's 1000x prettier than the photos in the cart pictures.Lace up back and adjustable built in bra made it very easy to adjust the bust and bodice down to her size.She is a dress size L/12-14 and 5'6", I ordered a 16 to be safe. It is true to size, I could have safely bought her normal dress size. At 5'6", if she were to wear heels, it wouldn't need hemming.
