This was bought for a celebration party. My daughter who has had a growth spurt finds getting the fit a problem. She loved this dress.This had great length but a little tight under the arms, the halter look is very flattering if there had been more time I would have gone up a size. There is no room to alter this one, but I bought it for an occasion and it did its job.If you buy this get one in the size you need and the next one up and keep the best is my advice.The detail is pretty and the colour is beautiful.My daughter loved it which is the main thing.
