Got this as a birthday dress. I ordered the dress early December and was supposed to get it between January 1-4 when that didn’t happen I wrote the vendor.

I wish I would have gotten a large instead I had to get a tailored. But nonetheless, this dress was worth it. It is truly a quality piece. The dress is heavy and it feels like it’s made well when wearing it m.
