First let me say this dress is beautiful. The color is gorgeous and the material is nice and soft. It’s a soft velvet feel. Unfortunately for me I don’t have the chest for this dress. When you first take the dress out of the packaging it looks bigger than it actually is. It did take me a minute to figure out how to put the dress on. Once it put it on and pulled the dress down it still did not cover my boobs. You can risk it if you want but if you don’t have perfectly shaped boob or a boob job your boobs will definitely pop out. I’ve even tried to push them to the side and they still showed everything. You probably could get it tailored or a safety pin but I think it takes away from the look. Also you can wear a bra but I would do a strapless. Even if you do choose to wear a bra it will still show unless maybe one of those tube bras but again that would take away from the look. The top of the dress you do have to twist first and than put over your head. For me it did not turn out like the picture. I just couldn’t get it to look straight. You could tell that I had twisted it myself. I’m also 5’1 so the dress almost came down to my ankles when I had to pull it down to try and get better coverage for my chest. This dress would be perfect for taller people.
