I chose to buy this dress without a petticoat that has to go with; obviously it is not a corolla effect but it is still very good. The waist up, if you have a little chest perfectly okay, enough is problematic x) I took a size above my waist thanks to read reviews and I did well! The dress is very beautiful, very light, very pleasant to wear, and really flattering, I took a size 40 then I do 38-39 more, and she goes super well, I'm normal size (1m67) and with a few extra kilos, to give you an idea. I'm really happy with this purchase!
