I ordered this dress for my daughter on Feb. 9th and it arrived in Oklahoma on Feb. 16th - almost 3 weeks earlier that the early arrival predicted by Amazon. It came in a nice box, wrapped in tissue and ribbons with a lollipop tied on top. The dress is beautiful and fit my 5'6", 115 pound daughter perfectly! Looks like a dress we saw on a cruise last month and definitely will travel well. She's adding a crystal brooch to the shoulder and it makes it look great for a dressier event. I will definitely purchase from this vendor again if I need something like this!Very nice dress for the price but the sizing is difficult. It cost me way too much to return overseas, so I gave it to a friend.......
