I wore this dress to work a black tie gala thanking campaign donors and I got compliments all night from millionaires. It was one of the classiest gowns there and I was especially happy that it was so comfortable since I needed to not only look great but be able to run around all evening delivering gift bags or hunting down name badges. It ran true to size and the fabric was beautiful and heavy. I only had two small disappointments. I have fairly short legs and even on me the skirt ran a little short; I'm wearing flats in this picture but I wore 4" heels most of the night and the dress didn't come close to covering them. Also, the back of the dress gaped just a bit. Not sure if that was just me or if it was stretched a bit from wear. I don't think anyone noticed, though, and despite both issues I was told many times mine was one of the best dresses of the night!
