I wasn’t sure how the microsuede would drape, but it draped very nicely!

I checked your profile but didn’t see it. Have you posted photos? I’d love to see them!
I think it’s a very va-voomy dress, too. While is seems really low cut, it covered my bra completely and I was never afraid of falling out of it.
