Out of all the mermaid dresses I’ve came across on Amazon this one seemed to be the best and I wasn’t wrong! I was sad it didn’t have straps because I knew I’d have to have a dress with straps but with the price of the dress being so great I figured I’d be able to add the straps with a seamstress. It’s such a beautiful dress and looks so great, like it came from a high end store! I felt so beautiful and loved the fact that it was a tie up back, knowing that I wanted to be able to control the fit of the dress on how tight I’d want it, it was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Again because it didn’t have strap I had the straps added to it and it came out great and I felt so much better with the straps being added. My breasts are larger than most, my size is 38 DD/DDD (150lbs) depending on what brand I wear and I knew with a strapless bra I’d be uncomfortable and I wasn’t wrong, initially without the straps the dress kept falling and kind of caving into my stomach covering the upper held of my torso. So if you do have larger breasts and plan on getting this dress please know you would probably have to add straps to it, to be more comfortable. I am pretty short, 5’2”, and was worried the dress would be too long but it wasn’t overwhelming long to where I’d have to get it fixed. I loved to train and although it was longer than it was probably supposed to be for the fit, I liked how it looked and felt. Not all dresses are going to fit perfectly without altering it, so I would say get this dress and make the proper alternating you need to fit YOU perfectly!
