I got this dress for my husband's formal "dining out" dinner. It's a gorgeous dark navy colour, with pretty cap sleeves. It's a true navy, so it looked very dark inside, but out in the sun the color really shone. It's well fitted, but because of the lace overlay, I didn't feel like it was clingy or showing lumps and bumps! I'm 5'7" and it was just long enough for a formal affair - if you're taller, you might find it too short. It's plain but pretty and elegant. I paired it with some shiny RTR earrings and I think the dress needs something like that to make it that little more special. In terms of fit, I normally wear a 10 or an 8, and I wore the 10 with this dress. It's snug but not tight. I'm not sure I'd want to wear it if I was planning to do lots of dancing. It's a great dress for a formal affair though.
