Beaded Double V-Neck Dress

I ordered 11 dresses from various stores so I could pick one to wear to a wedding, and this is the one I chose! It's rich and beautiful and almost heavy, which is good bc it doesn't bunch up anywhere. Underneath the beaded mesh outer layer is a slim-fitting (but not tight) sheath that works perfectly with the beaded layer (it does not take the place of Spanx, however). The dress looks exactly as pictured -- i.e. there's a bit of mesh hanging down below the sheath just as in the pictures, the color is spot-on, etc. The information above where you choose a size says it runs large, but I think it was very true to size. I definitely wouldn't order down a size. One think you need to prepare for if you buy this dress is tiny beads everywhere lol! I kept hearing them hit the floor as I tried the dress on, and I left a small pile of them behind wherever I went, especially if I sat down anywhere. I looked at the dress afterwards, and you really couldn't see where they'd fallen off unless you looked closely. I'd have to say this dress is very delicate; you wouldn't want to wear it for a wild night of running around! I bought the dress in a 12; for comparison, I'm 5' nuthin' and 140.
