The invisible zipper in this dress in inserted in the side seam, not in the center back, as shown in the picture. As a result, the neckline can not be opened up fully to step into the dress. The bodice underlining fabric is stretchy, not woven , which makes it is a little easier to pull over the head.Also, where the skirt fits is closer to a dropped waist style, not right on the waist, as it appears on the model.For a woman who is long waisted, you might want this longer length in the bodice. But for a short height, or short waisted woman, the fit may seem too frumpy, and the skirt will not flare out properly from the waist.The dress does not crease, and does not need ironing, even though it comes flat packed. Just turn the skirt upside down, gently pull the layers apart, and and bounce it a few times to help it pouf out.
