“I wore this dress to my first Mardi Gras ball, and felt elegant, but not boring. The color was great, and the dress was simple enough to wear some of my beloved vintage jewelry with it!”

I agree with the other reviewers who commented that the dress is a bit big on top. I got two sizes: the 38L and the 40L - the 38 fit better on my chest/upper body, but was a bit too tight across my hips, so I wore the 40. It looked fine on top, it just didn't feel as snug as I'm used to across the chest. I also agree with the other reviewers that the dress runs short. I got the Long, and the length was perfect with 3" heels - it skimmed the floor, but I wasn't tripping on it (I'm 5'6"). Overall, I have to say that I was extremely happy with the dress! I loved the color (deep purple!), and the dress was VERY comfortable (no pulling or digging in or rubbing anywhere)!!
