I received the dress here in Australia earlier than expected (by about 2 week) in black for a special occasion. I thought about white but didn't want to look like a bride. The workmanship is good and the dress is very flattering. I have a larger bust (12DD) and often find it hard to get a dress which gives me coverage without making me look like a nun at the same time. I got mine made to size as I have very broad shoulders. It looks great and is worth every cent. Thanks
