Sexy (but mixerd feelings!)
This is a sexy dress, but I'd really like to emphasize the lack of support for larger breasts. If you dislike how your breasts look without any support, I'd avoid this dress.

Poorly supports larger breasts
I was excited to receive this dress since it looked incredibly sexy from the picture. After receiving it, I immediately tried it on and decided I don't look extremely sexy in it myself, but for the right body type it could be very flattering.
I ordered a size XL. I wear size 12 jeans (from American Eagle) and normally a size XL shirt (or L from Old Navy), size M or L in men’s' shirts. After ordering a pair of Dreamgirl crotchless panties, I was afraid that the sizes ran a little big since the size XL was huge on me. However, I decided to go for the XL here again and it's the perfect size.
Note: Some of the dresses on Eden Fantasys seem as if they could also be worn out, like to a club. From the picture this may seem like one of those dresses (it may be borderline), but I can't really see wearing it out. It's rather skimpy (though slightly higher quality than other Dreamgirl lingerie I've bought). The "cups" - if you really want to call them that (I'll get to this later), you can see right through if you hold the dress up to the light. Once on though, you can't really see through them (no nipples were visible), though this should tell you that they are rather thin. This leads me to my biggest issue with the dress.
Issue 1: The cups. They are not very supportive at all. If you have A-cups, B-cups, or perhaps very perky larger breasts, this will probably look fantastic on you. If you have anything that needs the slightest support, this dress will not provide it. My breasts are a 38D/38DD, and I didn't think I'd have trouble due to the halter style which tends to be a bit more supportive. I was wrong. The "string" that ties behind your neck (and I say string because it's not very thick and can have a tendency to cut into your neck if you're trying to support larger breasts) feeds through the inner sides of the cups before crossing over in front of your body. Sexy? In theory. Supportive? No. Since nothing is on the bottom pieces of fabric covering your breasts (e.g., a band, underwire, etc.) your breasts, if in need of support, will appear as they do when you're not wearing a bra. You MAY be able to work it (tying the halter up, adjusting the dress) so that you get a slight lift but it's unlikely to stay.
Issue 2: This isn't really a huge issue since it has more to due with my hips. However, if you have wider hips that you're not particularly trying to accentuate, you may not like this. My hips are sort of wide - the type that look really wide in pencil skirts/dresses. Although the bottom part of this is surprisingly flowy, it comes off the body part in a way such that it goes out a bit, making your hips look wider.
I'd say the best person this will look on is one with the body of the model wearing the dress in the picture, though I'm being rather picky and you could very well enjoy it otherwise.
The material is 100% polyester. As stated earlier, the cups are rather thin. The skirt part is a bit thicker. Overall, the dress seems heavier than it looks.
In the picture, it almost looks like pleather, but I assure you it is not, and this become more obvious if you actually see it in person.
Washing directions: Machine wash cold water; line dry.

I'm really not a fan of this. It just doesn't look that great on me, so I've barely worn it. It looks too cheap.
