What a bummer!
"The reality of this dress didn't match the photos are reviews for me. First of all, it doesn't run large - I'd say it actually runs TTS, leaning slightly on the small side. More importantly, the bust is so strangely shaped! The fabric is substantial so that, plus the cut and the boning makes for a very unflattering and unnatural shape. Finally, the gold of the fabric in real life is VERY bright and shiny - it makes the dress look a bit cheap and it also makes it inappropriate for certain types of events. So disappointing! The dress really had so much promise."
