Just got this dress because I wanted something a little easier and cooler than my full scale noblewoman's outfit. It's entirely adjustable and looks great over a chemise. The laces were of excellent quality and a little heavier-duty so I know they won't break or fray. The size charts can be a little confusing so to help people out, I'm a size 16 with a 40" bust and I bought the L/XL which fits excellent.
