Advice on this dress please

I ordered this dress
purple dress
For our school summer ball. I did not want to spend too much as I have lost weight and just hope I keep it off. Thought for (an unbelievable) £17 it was worth a try.
Anyway it arrived and my gut instinct (and my gut instinct is usually right) was that the fabric looked cheap (a type of thick poly jersey). However, when I put it on with my pewter platform"standing shoes" it fit like a glove and makes me look so glam....from a distance. Colour is great too.
What should I do?

If it looks good on then I wouldn't worry about it.

as a point of interest, do you reckon it's stretchy enough that one could get enough access to bf in it?

Great advice from you both, but makescakes do I want to know what "bf" means?

Ahh I think it's "breast feed" isn't it? Quite low cut and stretch....so perhaps would be poss

I still like it...and think that what the others said above is absolutely right. The lighting is going to be different in the evening and I'm sure no-one will notice the material unless they are right up close. Looking forward to seeing you all dolled up :)
