This dress was a pleasant surprise. It looks quite simple in the pictures (and short or long...depending on who is wearing it), so I was worried it would be too plain. But I ended up loving this dress, for the following reasons: 1) High quality construction - this dress FEELS expensive. (it is). It's a heavy, thick fabric with a satiny lining that makes the whole thing perfect for cold winter. 2) Great skirt movement - a swingy, flared skirt that has just enough movement to feel feminine but not overly girly. 3) Clean silhouette - a perfect backdrop for a statement necklace (which I also rented from RTR!) 4) Beautiful color - a deep, rich green that would work well on just about any skin tone. A couple additional notes: I've found Prabal Gurung's dresses run snug in the underarm/upper bust area. They're comfortable through the waist and hip (of course the styles I've chosen have been more A-line), but you can't necessarily count on excessively deep breathing all evening. This was the case here. That being said, Mr. Gurung's dresses are figure flattering so well worth any momentary twinges of discomfort. I was surprised to find the dress knee length on me - it looked past the knee in some reviews, and I'm definitely not the 5'10" the model is! No complaints however, as knee length was exactly what I hoped for. A great dress to wear from work to drinks and dinner.
