The dress was of a less expensive fabric. However the style and pattern are as pictured. The dress is comfortable. I would recommend using a little fabric softener spray on it when you first get it. As the dress was a little stiff when I went to wear it.I ordered my regular size M and it fit like an XL. I was so disappointed.The Material is thin and the picture does not depict the photoIt did not fit at all, and I have been trying to return it.It is very see thru the material feels like it will tear if you reach for something. It is not polyester, not sure what kind of material because it does not come with tags.
