As you can see this dress is meant to hang off the shoulder, with a wide shape, but with the curved lines and darted hemline, the garment hangs ballooned a little at the skirt.
Added elastic at the bust-line on the sides gives the dress more shape. It doesn’t appear as a huge dress.
I am sure you will enjoy this piece as much as I do.
