This is the first dress I tried on and i fell in love with it. After trying a million dresses, I came back and bought this dress. I am usually a 8-10 size.... The beaded sweetheart top is very flattering.  The dress is tight to the waist and there is more beads around the waist. The dress is so pretty! I have a 2 tiered- diamond drop veil that I will give with the dress that was over $150.00.
