The dress is lovely! However an important piece of advice is to get measured because the dresses sizes run small. I would normally need a small but got a medium to accomadate my waist size, though I am petite at 110lbs. The other 9 girls in my dance praise team also needed to go one to two sizes up. We decided to stick to waist measurements and that helped us choose. They all fit perfect without being to adjusted at the top.
