Not true to color, still gorg
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
While this dress turned out to be great, the description must be changed. When I opened the garment bag I immediately thought they had sent the wrong dress. After continuing to zip down, I realized it was the right one - just that it was PINK. Especially in indoor lighting, this dress is a pale pink - not just silver. While the silver lace jacquard is over the silkier fabric, the pink fabric underneath is what you see more than the silver. In photos, it photographs with a slight slight touch of pink, but this is where the silver shines through. While I'm normally between a 2-4, the 2 was big on me, the hem was much too long and the bodice was loose and baggy - even though I'm big busted. The fashion tape was also no use... only 3 pieces of tape? Overall, I ended up loosely hemming the dress and shoulders and it was easy to take it out after I had worn it. In the end, I loved the dress - after much time and work it fit me great and despite the unexpectedness, the color was absolutely beautiful (although I had to wear different shoes and tell my date to prom to get a different corsage...)
Lastly, the description is again flawed. There is no back zip, it's on the side of the dress and there is no hook and eye closure
