Ladies this dress is very beautiful no doubt.Material is fairly light,not horrible.Still gives that classy look.There is no lining.The size however i feel is incorrect.Im normally a size 2XL but ordered 4XL based on the reveiws.The zip almost didnt close as i went up,but eventually did.The zip is of low quality but you can always change that and get a stronger zip.Its really a small cut.Be safe and take a big size especially if you have a big bust and tummy like me.Rather take a big size,if its big,you can make it smaller with a seamstress.Overall,iwould reccommend this dress.
