it's very sturdy (you can see the way it holds the tummy in).
It is definitely an amazing dress.
I ordered this dress for my daughter. It came in a couple days. This dress was just what my daughter was hoping for, and looked great on her. She could not be happier.
I did custom measurements and the tailor pointed out that my measurements do not look correct and asked me to double check - which was good because I did measure incorrectly in the first instance. but when i got it, i am surprised about the size!!
