Flowy, comfortable, natural, elegant, comfortable. This dress has a beaded upper body which gently flows downward into a soft flowy fabric bottom. The bottom has a lot of movement, which you can see in the photos.
I got this dress and wore it for my August 2018 wedding in the Colorado mountains. I tried on many dresses, but chose this one because it was so comfortable, unique, and casual yet elegant. It was everything I hoped for. It would work well for a rustic, whimsical, or bohemian wedding - I think it's pretty versatile for many types of weddings.
The tag says 100% silk and 100% polyester. The neckline is sweetheart shaped, and the upper body is covered with beads and gems. The thin spaghetti straps are optional, since I added them on (it was originally strapless). The waist naturally flows out away from the body and was flattering. I felt comfortable to dance, move around, and wasn't restricted or self conscious at all.
I tried the dress on with both a bra and without, and I ended up going without for the wedding. The bodice has framing that kept everything supported. I normally wear a 36 B or C. I'm 5'9" and weight about 165 lbs. I wore 1 or 2" wedges with this dress and it was perfect. I have an athletic build with somewhat bigger hips/butt. I usually wear a L or 8/10 on bottoms, and a M or 6/8 for tops. If you have any other questions, let me know.
