This is a lovely dress with a deep dramatic color. The fit is good, covers the ladies nicely up top and pulls in the waist. The main issue is the fabric, which is a thin stretchy cotton that feels (and looks) like a nightgown. And therein lies the problem. It does not look like a black tie gown, because of the informal material, and I felt somewhat out of place in a sea of satin and lace and sheen. Also, b/c it is so thin, it shows every single bulge and crease, either from spanx or your natural curves. Holds nothing in at all. In sum, it's a pretty dress, and maybe good for a wedding party where you want to look dramatic, but I wore it to the White House Correspondents Dinner and would not do so again. Also WAY too expensive for what it is.
